Let the beautiful words of the Prophets inspire and challenge you.
Solomon continues to guide us through life. Though a sin out of desperation can eventually be forgiven, a sin that ruins other people's lives simply for our own pleasure can never truly be erased.
Take care of yourself and don't take on other people's responsibilities, don't be lazy, and prepare yourself in the good times to be ready for the bad. God hates nothing more than dishonesty and inciting hatred to take advantage of others.
Don't stray after enticements of the selfish that only want to take advantage of you. Stay on the path before you, on the path of those who truly love you.
Listen to wisdom, she calls to you in public, she will save you from disaster. Don't ignore her advice, or you will suffer the inevitable results of your ignorance.
Don't reject the simple wisdom of your parents as you embark on your journey in life, and avoid the temptations of those who lead a life seeking only profiting from others.
Jeremiah laments the destruction, and God's abandonment of the people. He ends by begging God to bring us back, so that we can have another chance to return to Him.
Jeremiah laments the decline and destruction of the people of Jerusalem. Those who shone with beauty like gold, have withered into suffering and starvation.
Jeremiah recounts his own terrible suffering he has borne while trying to deliver God's message. But despite the seeming futility of his daunting task, he refuses to give up on hope.
Jeremiah warns the people by describing the terrible destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. Don't have faith in a building, as God's wrath will not spare you unless you change your ways.
Jeremiah laments the reliance on political strength and alliances, as when the day comes they will turn on Judea. We have rebelled against God, and nothing can save us other than God.
We introduce the book of Eichah as Jeremiah's prophecy of what will come if we do not heed his exhortations and change our ways. The image of a potential disastrous future is used to inspire people to change.
