Jeremiah 5:19-31
19AndH1961 whenH3588 the people askH559, ‘ForH8478 whatH4100 offense has the LORDH3068 our GodH430 doneH6213 allH3605 these things to usH428?’ You are to tellH559 themH413, ‘Just asH834 you have forsakenH5800 MeH853 and servedH5647 foreignH5236 godsH430 in your landH776, soH3651 will you serveH5647 foreignersH2114 in a landH776 that is notH3808 your own.’”
20DeclareH5046 thisH2063 in the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 and proclaimH8085 it in JudahH3063:
21“HearH8085H4994 thisH2063,O foolishH5530 and senselessH369H3820 peopleH5971,who have eyesH5869 but do notH3808 seeH7200,who have earsH241 but do notH3808 hearH8085.22Do you notH3808 fear MeH3372?”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.“Do you notH3808 trembleH2342 before MeH6440,the One whoH834 setH7760 the sandH2344 as the boundaryH1366 for the seaH3220,an enduringH5769 barrierH2706 it cannotH3808 crossH5674?The wavesH1530 surgeH1607, but they cannotH3808 prevailH3201.They roarH1993 but cannotH3808 cross itH5674.
23But theseH2088 peopleH5971 haveH1961 stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 heartsH3820.They have turned asideH5493 and gone awayH1980.24They have notH3808 saidH559 in their heartsH3824,‘Let us fearH3372H4994 the LORDH3068 our GodH430,who givesH5414 the rainsH1653, both autumnH3138 and springH4456, in seasonH6256,who keepsH8104 for us the appointedH2708 weeksH7620 of harvestH7105.’
25Your iniquitiesH5771 have divertedH5186 these from youH428;your sinsH2403 have deprivedH4513 you of My bountyH2896.26ForH3588 amongH4672 My peopleH5971 are wicked menH7563;they watchH7789 like fowlersH3353 lying in waitH7918;they setH5324 a trapH4889 to catchH3920 menH582.27Like cagesH3619 full ofH4392 birdsH5775,soH3651 their housesH1004 are full ofH4392 deceitH4820.ThereforeH5921H3651 they have become powerfulH1431 and richH6238.
28They have grown fatH8080 and sleekH6245,andH1571 have excelledH5674 in the deedsH1697 of the wickedH7451.They have notH3808 taken up the causeH1779H1777 of the fatherlessH3490,that they might prosperH6743;nor have theyH3808 defendedH8199the rightsH4941 of the needyH34.29Should I notH3808 punish themH6485 forH5921 these thingsH428?”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.“Should I notH3808 avengeH5358 MyselfH5315on such a nationH1471 as thisH2088?
