eagle in Jeremiah 49
EE-gul
This creature shows up in Jeremiah 49:16: “As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Jeremiah 49:16
“As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill, though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there,” says Yahweh.”
What kids can learn
When you hear eagle in Jeremiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Jeremiah 49:16 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
