Jeremiah 5:19-31
19And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, when ye shall sayH559, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 our GodH430 doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 things unto usH413? then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Like as ye have forsaken meH413, and servedH5647 strangeH2114 godsH430 in your landH776, soH3651 shall ye serveH5647 strangersH2114 in a landH776 that is notH3808 yoursH428. 20DeclareH5046 ye this in the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and publish it in JudahH3063, sayingH559, 21HearH8085 nowH4994 this, O foolishH5530 peopleH5971, and withoutH3808 understandingH3820; whichH5869 have eyesH5869, and seeH7200 notH3808; whichH5869 have earsH241, and hearH8085 notH3808: 22FearH3372 ye notH3808 meH6440? saith the LORDH3068: will ye notH3808 trembleH2342 at my presenceH6440, whichH834 have placedH7760 the sandH2344 for the bound of the seaH3220, by a perpetualH5769 decreeH2706, that it cannotH3808 passH5674 it? and thoughH518 the wavesH1530 thereof tossH1607 themselvesH7760, yet canH3201 they notH3808 prevailH3201; thoughH518 they roarH1993, yet canH3201 they notH3808 passH5674 over it. 23But this peopleH5971 hath a revolting and a rebelliousH4784 heartH3820; they are revolted and goneH5493. 24NeitherH3808 sayH559 they in their heartH3824, LetH4994 usH5414 nowH4994 fearH3372 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, that giveth rainH1653, both the former and the latterH4456, in itsH5414 seasonH6256; that reserveth unto usH5414 the appointedH5414 weeksH7620 of the harvestH7105. 25Your iniquitiesH5771 have turnedH5186 awayH5186 theseH428 things, and your sinsH2403 have withholden goodH2896 from youH4480. 26For among my peopleH5971 are foundH4672 wickedH7563 menH376: they watchH7789, as fowlersH3353 lieH7789 in waitH7789; they setH5324 a trapH4889, they catchH3920 menH376. 27As a cageH3619 is fullH4392 of birdsH5775, soH3651 are their housesH1004 fullH4392 of deceitH4820: therefore they are becomeH1431 greatH1431, and waxen richH6238. 28They are waxen fatH8080, they shine: yea, they overpass in deedsH1697 of wickednessH7451: they pleadH1777 notH3808 the causeH4941, the causeH4941 of the fatherlessH3490, that they should prosperH6743; and the rightH4941 of the needyH34 do they notH3808 judgeH8199. 29shall I notH3808 visitH6485 for theseH428 things? saith the LORDH3068: shall notH3808 my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on suchH2088 a nationH1471 as this? 30A wonderful and horrible thing is comeH1961 to passH1961 in the landH776; 31the prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 falselyH8267, and the priestsH3548 bear ruleH3027 by their meansH3027; and my peopleH5971 loveH157 to have it soH3651: and whatH4100 will ye doH6213 in the endH319 thereof?
