Jeremiah 5:19-31
19And it shall come to pass, when ye shall sayH559, Wherefore hath Jehovah our 1GodH430 done all these thingsH428 unto us? then shalt thou sayH559 to them, As ye have forsaken me, and servedH5647 strangeH2114 2godsH430 in your landH776, soH3651 shall ye serveH5647 strangersH2114 in a landH776 that is not yours. 20DeclareH5046 this in the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and publish it in JudahH3063, sayingH559, 21HearH8085 now this, O foolish and heartless peopleH5971, who have eyesH5869 and seeH7200 not; who have earsH241, and hearH8085 not. 22Will ye not fearH3372 me? saith Jehovah. Will ye not trembleH2342 at my presenceH6440, who have setH7760 the sandH2344 a bound for the seaH3220 by a perpetual decreeH2706, and it shall not passH5674 it? and its waves toss themselves, but they do not prevailH3201; and they roarH1993, yet can they not passH5674 over it? 23But this peopleH5971 hath a stubbornH5637 and a rebelliousH4784 heartH3820; they have turnedH5493 asideH5493 and are gone. 24And they sayH559 not in their heartH3824, Let us now fearH3372 Jehovah our 3GodH430, that giveth rainH1653, both the early and the latter, in its season; who preserveth unto us the appointed weeksH7620 of harvestH7105. 25Your iniquitiesH5771 have turnedH5186 away these thingsH428, and your sinsH2403 have withholden from you what is goodH2896. 26For among my peopleH5971 are foundH4672 wickedH7563 [menH376]: they lay wait, as fowlersH3353 stoop down; they setH5324 a trap, they catchH3920 menH376. 27As a cage fullH4392 of birdsH5775, soH3651 are their housesH1004 fullH4392 of deceitH4820: thereforeH3651 they are becomeH1431 greatH1431, and have enriched themselves. 28They are become fatH8080, they shine, yea, they surpass in deeds of wickednessH7451; they judgeH8199 not the cause, the cause of the fatherlessH3490, and they prosperH6743; and the rightH4941 of the needyH34 do they not adjudge. 29Shall I not visitH6485 for these thingsH428? saith Jehovah; shall not my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on such a nationH1471 as this? 30An appalling and horrible thing is committed in the landH776: 31the prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 falsehoodH8267, and the priestsH3548 rule by their means; and my peopleH5971 loveH157 [to have it] soH3651. But what will ye do in the endH319 thereof?
