Jeremiah 5:1-5

1Roam the streets of Jerusalem, look around and consider, search through her squares! If you can find a person, if there is one who does justice, who seeks truth, then I will pardon the city.

2Though they say, “As Adonai lives!” surely they swear falsely.

3Adonai, do Your eyes not look for faithfulness? You struck them, but they did not grieve. You disciplined them, but they refused correction. They made their faces harder than stone. They refused to return.

4Then I said: These are only the poor. They are foolish. For they do not know the way of Adonai, the ordinance of their God.

5I will go to the distinguished and speak to them. Surely they know the way of Adonai, the ordinance of their God. But they too had broken the yoke and torn off the bonds.
