Context of Jeremiah 5:9
7“Why should I pardon you? Your sons have forsaken Me And sworn by those who are not gods. When I had fed them to the full, They committed adultery And trooped to the harlot’s house. 8They were well-fed lusty horses, Each one neighing after his neighbor’s wife. Shall I not punish these people,” declares the Lord, “And on a nation such as this Shall I not avenge Myself? 10“Go up through her vine rows and destroy, But do not execute a complete destruction; Strip away her branches, For they are not the Lord’s. 11For the house of Israel and the house of Judah Have dealt very treacherously with Me,” declares the Lord.
