ירמיהו, פרק י״ח, פסוק י׳

The relationship between God and humanity is deeply dynamic, shaped by human choices and moral direction. A nation's destiny is never simply locked in place, but responds directly to its actions. When a people turns toward evil and actively chooses to ignore the voice of God, their path shifts dramatically. This refusal to listen brings a direct consequence: the cancellation of the positive future that was meant for them. Any good that God had intended to bring upon that nation is withdrawn as a result of their actions [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
