কিন্তু যদি তেওঁলোক ভাববাদী হয়, আৰু যদি যিহোৱাৰ বাক্য তেওঁলোকৰ লগত আছে, তেন্তে যিহোৱাৰ গৃহত, যিহূদাৰ ৰাজগৃহত আৰু যিৰূচালেমত অৱশিষ্ট থকা বস্তুবোৰ বাবিললৈ নাযাবলৈ বাহিনীসকলৰ যিহোৱাৰ আগত তেওঁলোকে প্ৰাৰ্থনা কৰক।
What Does This Mean?
Jeremiah challenges the false prophets by saying that if they are truly prophets and have the word of the Lord, they should ask God to prevent the valuable items in the temple and palace from being taken to Babylon. This verse highlights the distinction between true and false prophecy based on their ability to predict the future accurately.
Explained for Children
Imagine you have a toy that you really love, and someone says they can make a magic wish to keep it safe. But if that person can't make the wish come true, they probably aren't very good at making wishes. Jeremiah is saying something like that, but about prophets and the valuable things in the temple.
Historical Background
Jeremiah wrote this during the Babylonian invasion of Jerusalem. The audience was the people of Judah, who were being deceived by false prophets. The cultural setting was one of upheaval and fear as the Babylonians were taking over and removing sacred items from the temple.
Living It Out Today
In a modern scenario, if someone claims to have special knowledge or power, we can test their claims by asking for a specific outcome. If they fail, it suggests they might not be as truthful or powerful as they claim. For example, if a financial advisor promises guaranteed returns, we can look at their track record to see if their claims hold true.
