Context of Jeremiah 5:3

1“Roam about through the streets of Jerusalem, And look and take notice. And seek in her public squares, If you can find a person, If there is one who does justice, who seeks honesty, Then I will forgive her. 2And although they say, ‘As the Lord lives,’ Certainly they swear falsely.” Lord, do Your eyes not look for honesty? You have struck them, But they did not weaken; You have consumed them, But they refused to accept discipline. 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 judgment of their God. 5I will go to the great And speak to them, For they know the way of the Lord And the judgment of their God.” But together they too have broken the yoke And burst the restraints.
