There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; They break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.
How tragic it is when God says of a people, "Just let them alone." Ephraim, the Northern Kingdom, joined herself to her idols. "Just let her alone. Don't warn her anymore, don't speak to her anymore, don't pray for her anymore." God said to Jeremiah, "Don't pray anymore for their good. If you do, I'm not gonna listen to you." As we said this morning, God has warned, "My Spirit will not always strive with man" ( Genesis 6:3 ). There is a line. You can go beyond those limits of God's grace. "Let them alone. Ephraim joined to her idols; just let them alone."
