Jeremiah 5:1-5

1“Go up and downH7751 the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389. LookH7200 nowH4994 and take noteH3045; searchH1245 her squaresH7339. IfH518 you can findH4672 a single personH376H518H3426, anyone who actsH6213 justlyH4941, anyone who seeksH1245 the truthH530, then I will forgiveH5545 the city.2AlthoughH518 they sayH559H3651, ‘As surely as the LORDH3068 livesH2416,’ they are swearing falselyH7650H8267.”

3O LORDH3068, do notH3808 Your eyesH5869 look for truthH530?You struck themH5221, but they felt noH3808 painH2342.You finished them offH3615,but they refusedH3985 to acceptH3947 disciplineH4148.They have made their facesH6440 harderH2388 than stoneH5553and refusedH3985 to repentH7725.
4Then IH589 saidH559, “TheyH1992 are onlyH389 the poorH1800;they have played the foolH2973,forH3588 they do notH3808 knowH3045 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068,the justiceH4941 of their GodH430.5I will goH1980 toH413 the powerfulH1419and speakH1696 to themH853.SurelyH3588 theyH1992 knowH3045 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068,the justiceH4941 of their GodH430.”
ButH389 they tooH1992, with one accordH3162, had brokenH7665 the yokeH5923and torn offH5423 the chainsH4147.
