The prophet Jeremiah has a thus-says-the-Lord moment (it’s what prophets do). I like the way this contemporary version of the Bible puts it:
Jeremiah 4:22 (MSG)
What fools my people are! . . .
Experts at evil but klutzes at good.
“Experts at evil.” Good at bad work.
O Lord, I want to be good at good work–
I want to be good like you, dear Jesus.
