Jeremiah 48, Pride – The sin that always goes before the fall.
Jeremiah had brought prophecies against the southern kingdom of Judah for their rebellion against God.

And that’s exactly what the nation of Judah did. They didn’t listen. But God wanted them to know he’s not done with them yet. And he…
