In the late 1980’s there was a popular song by the contemporary Christian artist Steve Taylor. The title of this song was very eye opening: Whatever Happened to Sin? Too many times the sins of our day are glossed over as “choices” or glamorized as “coming out of the closet.” Jeremiah knew the serious consequences of sin and he mourned them in our passage. Our society needs to adopt his attitude and daily come before the Lord humbly crying, “Woe to us, for we have sinned!” (v. 16, NIV).
