'Fiery Words.'
Jeremiah 5:14.
a) The Lord is speaking.
b) The God of Hosts.
c) Because His People have spoken in the way that they spoke.
d) The Lord put fiery words in Jeremiah's mouth.
e) The Lord's People were like wood.
f) So the Lord's Words would burn them up.

'The Humble Jesus.'
Philippians 2:7-8.
a) Jesus emptied Himself.
b) He did it by:-
1-Taking on the form of a slave.
2-Looking like other men.
3-Sharing in human nature.
4-By becoming obedient, even to the point of death.
c) Even He went through death on the Cross.

Chris.
The Lord's People, in Jeremiah's time, were like wood. When His People are like wood, they are totally unable to follow or serve Him. It also means that they are in danger because the Lord's Words can burn them up. If we are the Lord's People we need to have soft hearts and pure hearts, then we can follow the Good Example of Jesus Christ and do His Will well.
