Jeremiah 5:1-4

1“1Roam about through the streets of Jerusalem, And look and take notice. And seek in her public squares, If you can 2find a person, 3If there is one who does justice, who seeks honesty, Then I will forgive 4her.2And 5although they say, ‘As the Lord lives,’ Certainly they swear falsely.”3Lord, do 6Your eyes not look for honesty? You have 7struck them, But they did not 8weaken; You have consumed them, But they 9refused to accept discipline. They have 10made their faces harder than rock; They have refused to repent.

4Then I said, “They are only the poor, They are foolish; For they 11do not know the way of the Lord Or the judgment of their God.
