24 And of Asher he said:
“Asher is most blessed of sons;Let him be favored by his brothers, And let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Your sandals shall be iron and bronze; As your days, so shall your strength be.
26 “There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, Who rides the heavens to help you,
And in His excellency on the clouds.
Jeremiah 19
4 “Because they have forsaken Me and made this an alien place, because they have burned incense in it to other gods whom neither they, their fathers, nor the kings of Judah have known, and have filled this place with the blood of the innocents 5 (they have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or speak, nor did it come into My mind), 6 therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that this place shall no more be called Tophet or the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.
Jeremiah 20
Jeremiah’s Unpopular Ministry
7 O Lord, You [b]induced me, and I was persuaded; You are stronger than I, and have prevailed.
I am [c]in derision daily; Everyone mocks me.
8 For when I spoke, I cried out; I shouted, “Violence and plunder!”
Because the word of the Lord was made to me A reproach and a derision daily.

Jeremiah 18
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 6 “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?” says the Lord. “Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel! 7 The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, 8 if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. 9 And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, 10 if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.
11 “Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I am fashioning a disaster and devising a plan against you. Return now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.” ’ ”
God’s Warning Rejected
12 And they said, “That is hopeless! So we will walk according to our own plans, and we will every one [d]obey the dictates[e] of his evil heart.”
13 Therefore thus says the Lord: “Ask now among the Gentiles, Who has heard such things?
The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
14 Will a man [f]leave the snow water of Lebanon, Which comes from the rock of the field?
Will the cold flowing waters be forsaken for strange waters?
15 “Because My people have forgotten Me, They have burned incense to worthless idols.
And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways, From the ancient paths,
To walk in pathways and not on a highway,
16 To make their land desolate and a perpetual hissing; Everyone who passes by it will be astonished
And shake his head.
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will [g]show them the back and not the face In the day of their calamity.”
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 6 “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?” says the Lord. “Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel! 7 The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, 8 if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. 9 And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, 10 if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.

Jeremiah’s Unpopular Ministry
7 O Lord, You [b]induced me, and I was persuaded; You are stronger than I, and have prevailed.
I am [c]in derision daily; Everyone mocks me.
8 For when I spoke, I cried out; I shouted, “Violence and plunder!”
Because the word of the Lord was made to me A reproach and a derision daily.
9 Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him, Nor speak anymore in His name.”
But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding it back, And I could not.
10 For I heard many [d]mocking: “Fear on every side!” “Report,” they say, “and we will report it!”
All my acquaintances watched for my stumbling, saying, “Perhaps he can be induced;
Then we will prevail against him, And we will take our revenge on him.”
11 But the Lord is with me as a mighty, awesome One. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and will not prevail. They will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper.
Their everlasting confusion will never be forgotten.
12 But, O Lord of hosts, You who test the righteous, And see the [e]mind and heart,
Let me see Your vengeance on them; For I have pleaded my cause before You.
13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For He has delivered the life of the poor From the hand of evildoers.
Titus 1
15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being [d]abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

Observation
It is a terrible thing to be born a prophet hated by everyone, but I know that Jeremiah was also dependent on GOD's Spirit to carry him through everytime GOD send him for a mission to carry HIS message across Israel, and it must have been intimidating for Jeremiah as a young person to stand as a Prophet in his time that Israel was rebellious and hard hearted towards GOD that is why GOD sent him because GOD knew they wouldn't listen to any prophet whether he was young or old, it didn't matter.
Application
I know that I am a servant of GOD but it scares me to be a servant at this time when I am in a family that I know is imperfect and have also wronged others, I am scared, to be here and to witness GOD's judgements upon all men but everyone will be judged, not one will be spared and even though I am partof this family I am set apart from them that is why I live not inside their home, but I am still scared to be part of the family that I know GOD will judge for our wrongs, I didn't fail to warn them anyway, and like Jeremiah, I have been waiting on GOD to deliver me from the family HE will bring to judgement in due time. But GOD'S grace is also abudant, where sin abounds I know HIS grace abounds even more, still I am scared and anxious for many things but I also want to trust GOD with all things.
