Jeremiah 3:10: “And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the Lord.” We have to realize that at the time of this prophecy, Judah was a very religious nation. They had the temple of God in Jerusalem where the people
Jeremiah 17:5: “Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.” The word curse is ’arur.

II Kings 22:19: “Because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard what I spoke against this place.” Josiah was a king who not only sought to serve God, he loved God. He became King of Judah at the age of 8 years. Ten years into his reign
II Chronicles 19:3: “Nevertheless there are good things found in thee in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.” This passage is referring to the king of Judah, Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat was a Godly king who teamed up with the Godless king of

Ezekiel 18:31 “Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit; for why will ye die, O House of Israel?” The word cast is shalak in Hebrew and is in a Hiphil imperative form.
