Jeremiah 5:1-9

1Run ye to and fro throughH7751 the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, and seeH7200 nowH4994, and knowH3045, and seekH1245 in the broad places thereof, ifH518 ye canH518 findH4672 a manH376, ifH518 there be anyH376 that doeth justlyH4941, that seeketh truthH530; and I will pardonH5545 herH518.

2And thoughH518 they sayH559, As the LORDH3068 liveth; surelyH518 they swearH7650 falselyH8267.

3O LORDH3068, do notH3808 thine eyesH5869 lookH5869 upon truthH530? thou hast strickenH5221 them, but they were notH3808 grieved; thou hast consumedH3615 them, but they have refusedH3985 to receiveH3947 correctionH4148: they have madeH2388 their facesH6440 harderH2388 thanH3808 a rockH5553; they have refusedH3985 to returnH7725.

4Then I saidH559, SurelyH3588 theseH1992 are poorH1800: they are foolishH2973; for they knowH3045 notH3808 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, norH3808 the judgmentH4941 of their GodH430:

5I will get meH413 unto the greatH1419 menH1419, and will speakH1696 unto them; for they knowH3045 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, and the judgmentH4941 of their GodH430. But theseH1992 with one accordH3162 have brokenH7665 the yokeH5923, and burstH5423 the bandsH4147.

6Wherefore a lionH738 outH3318 of the forestH3293 shall slayH5221 them, a wolfH2061 of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopardH5246 shall watchH8245 over their citiesH5892, everyH3605 one that goeth outH3318 thence shall be tornH2963 in piecesH2963: becauseH3588 their transgressionsH6588 are manyH7231, and their backslidings are increasedH7231.

7How canH1121 I pardonH5545 thee? thy childrenH1121 have forsaken meH3808, and swornH7650 by them that are noH3808 godsH430: when I had fedH7646 them to the fullH7646, they committedH5003 adulteryH5003, and assembled themselves in troopsH1413 at the harlots’ housesH1004.

8They were as fed horsesH5483 in the morning: everyH376 one neighed afterH1961 his neighbour’s wifeH802.

9shall I notH3808 visitH6485 for theseH428 things? saith the LORDH3068: and shall notH3808 my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on suchH2088 a nationH1471 as this?
