God's Punishments


I found this interesting and instructive.

Jeremiah 15:19(NKJV)
19Therefore thus says the Lord:      “If you return,     Then I will bring you back;     You shall stand before Me;     If you take out the precious from the vile,     You shall be as My mouth.     Let them return to you,     But you must not return to them.

Let me put this in perspective.  God is about ready to let Judah be carried away to Babylon.  Some people pray to be saved.  Look at God's response. 

He doesn't eliminate their punishment.  God instead seems to say that they need to prove their sincerity in returning to Him.  Once He sees that He will end their punishment early but they don't get out of it entirely.
