Jeremiah 11:14
"For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.’"
Key Reflection
This verse highlights the idolatrous practices prevalent in Judah and Jerusalem, suggesting that the number of gods worshiped was directly proportional to the number of cities and streets where altars were erected for Baal, symbolizing a widespread rejection of the true God in favor of pagan deities. This spiritual declension foreshadows the judgment coming upon the people for their idolatry and deviation from monotheism.
