Read the Story

God's people were like gold. They were precious. But they did not obey God, and a very hard time came.

People treated them like clay pots. But God said the hard time would end. God would not send them away again.

Memory Verse

“The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, daughter of Zion. He will no more carry you away into captivity. He will visit your iniquity, daughter of Edom. He will uncover your sins.”

Lamentations 4:22 (WEB)
