Jeremiah 5:1-4

1“1RoamH7751 to and froH7751 through the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, And lookH7200 nowH4994 and takeH3045 noteH3045. And seekH1245 in her openH7339 squaresH7339, IfH518 you can 2findH4672 a manH376, 3IfH518 thereH3426 is one who doesH6213 justiceH4941, who seeksH1245 4truthH530, Then I will pardonH5545 her.2And 5althoughH518 they sayH559, ‘As the LordH3068 livesH2416,’ SurelyH3651 they swearH7650 falselyH8267.”3O LordH3068, do not 6Your eyesH5869 look for 7truthH530? You have 8smittenH5221 them, But they did not 9weakenH2470; You have consumedH3615 them, But they 10refusedH3985 to takeH3947 correctionH4148. They have 11madeH2388 their facesH6440 harderH2388 thanH4480 rockH5553; They have refusedH3985 to repentH7725.

4Then I saidH559, “They are onlyH389 the poorH1800, They are foolishH2973; For they 12do not knowH3045 the wayH1870 of the LordH3068 Or the ordinanceH4941 of their GodH430.
