Jeremiah 5:1-5

1Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

2And though they say, Yhwh liveth; surely they swear falsely.

3O Yhwh, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

4Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of Yhwh, nor the judgment of their God.

5I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of Yhwh, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
