Context of Jeremiah 5:3

1“Roam to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, And look now and take note. And seek in her open squares, If you can find a man, If there is one who does justice, who seeks truth, Then I will pardon her. 2And although they say, ‘As the Lord lives,’ Surely they swear falsely.” O Lord, do not Your eyes look for truth? You have smitten them, But they did not weaken; You have consumed them, But they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; They have refused to repent. 4Then I said, “They are only the poor, They are foolish; For they do not know the way of the Lord Or the ordinance of their God. 5I will go to the great And will speak to them, For they know the way of the Lord And the ordinance of their God.” But they too, with one accord, have broken the yoke And burst the bonds.
