He can but did He laugh or weep at what was to befall Jerusalem? The same is true today as it was in Jeremiah's time. The fault lies primarily with the shepherds,prophets who get full of each other's knowledge and begin to speak as from God, words that God did not speak.

Who is more important, the prophet or the sheep? When the prophet thinks he is, he is just a pharisee.

I was in that church when Jesus saved me Jessie...You are right that the shepherds feed them poison and that it is spiritual death

And you are right that we need to give them life giving words..

But dead men can not chew..and that is the bottom line

We need to lead them to the word and offer it to them but it is God which will empower them to eat by giving them a new heart and life.

I think God laughs ,not at the fate of men, but at the extremes men will go to to build their own god..

Exposure of the errors does not bother the lost..they just smirk and keep moving..happy in their current state...

The ones with ears listen

God saved me out of the mirey clay...
