Jer 3:21 | MHM | STEP | v. 21 : On the high places, the voices of those who wept and prayed could be heard. These were people who admitted their sins and humbled themselves before God. They recognized that they had “perverted their way” and forgotten the Lord . Sin is described as turning from the right path to crooked ways. Forgetting God leads to this, as people fail to remember His commands and their duty to Him. True repentance includes both tears and prayers, acknowledging the ways in which we have gone astray (Jeremiah 3:21; Proverbs 19:3 ).
