Greatly love to wander

Jeremiah 14:1-22
There is severe and prolonged drought.
They greatly love to wander; they do not restrain their feet. So the Lord does not accept them; he will now remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins. (They wander far from me  they have not kept their feet in check They don't keep their feet where they belong.)
Although they fast, I will not listen to this people. Although they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword, famine and plague for their sines.
They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.
Jeremiah still prayed for the people to the Lord, for the sake of your name do not despise us; do not dishonor your glorious throne. Remember your covenant with us and do not break it.
Do any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain? Do the skies themselves send down showers? No, it is you,  O Lord our God. Therefore our hope is in you for you are the one who does all this.
Why?
Glorious throne is the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem.
The people once again appeal to God. But God will not listen. Neither will he hear Jeremiah's pleas that they have been duped by the lies of false peophets. Yet Jeremiah goes on praying for them until God's terrible answered(15:1).
They loved to wander from the Lord, and out of the way of their duty, to Egypt and Assyria for help, and after strange gods, and the worship of them; and this they chose and delighted in; it arose from corrupt affections and a depraved heart.
They have not refrained their feet; from going into other lands, or into the temples of idols.
Not only care our mouth, but also check our feet, the way is delight to the Lord or not.
How?
Do not love to wander to anywhere far from God. Watch my step in the light of Holy Spirit.
