hammer in Jeremiah 23
HAM-er
This thing shows up in Jeremiah 23:29: ““Isn’t my word like fire?” says Yahweh; “and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Jeremiah 23:29
““Isn’t my word like fire?” says Yahweh; “and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?”
