Jeremiah 5:1-9

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 GodH430.5I will goH1980 to the greatH1419 And speakH1696 to them, For 12they knowH3045 the wayH1870 of the LordH3068 And the judgmentH4941 of their GodH430.” But togetherH3162 they too have 13brokenH7665 the yokeH5923 And burstH5423 the restraintsH4147.6ThereforeH5921H3651 14a lionH743 from the forestH3293 will killH5221 them, A 15wolfH2061 of the desertsH6160 will destroyH7703 them, A 16leopardH5246 is watchingH8245 their citiesH5892. EveryoneH3605 who goesH3318 outH3318 of them will be tornH2963 inH2963 piecesH2963, BecauseH3588 their 17wrongdoingsH6588 areH7231 manyH7231, Their apostasiesH4878 areH6105 numerousH6105.

7“WhyH335 should I forgiveH5545 you? Your sonsH1121 have forsakenH5800 Me And 18swornH7650 by those who are 19not godsH430. When I had fedH7646 them toH7646 theH7646 fullH7646, They 20committedH5003 adulteryH5003 And stayedH1481 at the prostitute’sH2181 houseH1004.8They were well-fedH2109 lustyH7904 horsesH5483, EachH376 oneH376 neighingH6670 atH413 his 21neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802.9Shall I not punishH6485 them for theseH428 things?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “And 22shall I not avengeH5358 MyselfH5315 On a nationH1471 suchH834 as thisH2088?
