Jeremiah 5:1-4
1“1RoamH7751 aboutH7751 through the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, And lookH7200 and takeH3045 noticeH3045. And seekH1245 in her publicH7339 squaresH7339, IfH518 you can 2findH4672 a personH376, 3IfH518 thereH3426 isH3426 one who doesH6213 justiceH4941, who seeksH1245 honestyH530, Then I will forgiveH5545 4her.2And 5althoughH518 they sayH559, ‘As the LordH3068 livesH2416,’ CertainlyH3651 they swearH7650 falselyH8267.”3LordH3068, do 6Your eyesH5869 not look for honestyH530? You have 7struckH5221 them, But they did not 8weakenH2470; You have consumedH3615 them, But they 9refusedH3985 to acceptH3947 disciplineH4148. They have 10madeH2388 their facesH6440 harderH2388 thanH4480 rockH5553; They have refusedH3985 to repentH7725.
4Then I saidH559, “They are onlyH389 the poorH1800, They areH2973 foolishH2973; For they 11do not knowH3045 the wayH1870 of the LordH3068 Or the judgmentH4941 of their GodH430.
