My suggestion is to figure out what the book of Jeremiah is about, and who he is talking to. He is NOT talking to us, specifically, he is talking to the apostate people of Israel. I will not call them children of God, because they were worshipping false gods.
Jeremiah was a reluctant, weeping prophet whom God called to preach repentance to a wicked generation. So, think in terms of the time, who Jeremiah was preaching to, and you will not post verses like this to prove that you do not have a clue about context or hermeneutics. It is such an error to read verses like this as being directly applicable to us. And they are applicable, if the circumstances are the same. God's people do go astray, but, probably not the way they were in Jeremiah's time, worshipping false gods, and false prophets telling the king what he wanted to hear, unlike Jeremiah, who got thrown down in a well, for speaking the truth.
Or be prepared to be thrown in a dry, muddy cistern? (Not so much, just extending your wrong exegesis!)
