Even in the midst of promising terrible judgments, God holds open the hope that He will return and bless the people if they will listen diligently. Diligent listening equals obedience to His sabbath requirements. God adds nothing new to those things He has always asked of Israel. He asks only that she return and do what He asked long-ago; which she long-ago promised she would do. Scripture: [[Jeremiah 17#^595590]] Tittle: [[Judgment should quicken obedience]] #jot
