Jer 2:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12-13 : God calls the heavens to be shocked and horrified at Israel’s sins. Be astonished, O you heavens, at this (Jeremiah 2:12-13 ). The people have committed two great evils: they have left God, who is the fountain of living waters, and instead tried to find life and happiness in idols, which are like broken cisterns that cannot hold water. Turning away from God only leads to disappointment and emptiness, because only God can truly satisfy.
