Matthew 1:11 - And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried
away to Babylon:
(In the lineage of Joseph, husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus Christ).
NOTE: Jeremiah 22:24-30 curses King Jechoniah so that "no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling
any more in Judah." Jesus, the legal son of Joseph, has the legal right to rule as King. But He could not be of the physical seed of King Jechoniah (or therefore of Joseph) or this curse of God would also apply to Him. Therefore, the Virgin Birth of Christ is required to make Christ the King. He gains the legal right of the throne through Joseph, but not the curse.

Notes Today in Jeremiah 9
Jeremiah 9:3 - And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
The source of the name in John Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress" of Mr. Valiant-for-truth, who died a death worthy of his name.
Jeremiah 9:5 - And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
"Weary themselves to commit iniquity" notable cross references: Genesis 19:11, Proverbs 4:16, Habakkuk 2:13.

Notes today in Jeremiah 5
Jeremiah 5:1 - Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
Pardon it: "It" refers back to Jerusalem. Compare Genesis 18:23-33. Even one righteous man might save a city.
Jeremiah 5:25 - Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
How many good things and blessings do we forfeit and never even realize we missed, due to sin and stepping out of God's will? How many of the problems we face could have been avoided altogether if not for some "minor" decision we made in the past which seems unrelated to the problem at hand?
