Jeremiah, Chapter 5, verses 1-13

¹ “Roam to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, And look now and take note. And seek in her open squares, If you can find a man, If there is one who does justice, who seeks^a Lit faithfulnesstruth, Then I will pardon her. ² “And although they say, ‘As the LORD lives,’ Surely they swear falsely.” ³ O LORD, do not Your eyes look for^b Lit faithfulnesstruth? You have smitten them, But they did not^c Or become sickweaken; You have consumed them, But they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; They have refused to repent.	1 Ch2 16:9 Dan 12:4 Eze 22:30 Gen 18:26 Gen 18:32 2 Isa 48:1 Tit 1:16 3 Ch2 16:9 Isa 1:5 Isa 9:13 Jer 2:30 Jer 7:28 Jer 8:5 Zep 3:2 Jer 7:26 Jer 19:15 Eze 3:8
⁴ Then I said, “They are only the poor, They are foolish; For they do not know the way of the LORD Or the ordinance of their God. ⁵ “I will go to the great And will speak to them, For they know the way of the LORD And the ordinance of their God.” But they too, with one accord, have broken the yoke And burst the bonds. ⁶ Therefore a lion from the forest will slay them, A wolf of the deserts will destroy them, A leopard is watching their cities. Everyone who goes out of them will be torn in pieces, Because their transgressions are many, Their apostasies are numerous.	4 Isa 27:11 Jer 8:7 Hos 4:6 5 Mic 3:1 Exo 32:25 Psa 2:3 Jer 2:20 6 Jer 4:7 Eze 22:27 Hab 1:8 Zep 3:3 Hos 13:7 Jer 30:14 Jer 30:15
⁷ “Why should I pardon you? Your sons have forsaken Me And sworn by those who are not gods. When I had fed them to the full, They committed adultery And trooped to the harlot’s house. ⁸ “They were well-fed lusty horses, Each one neighing after his neighbor’s wife. ⁹ “Shall I not punish^d Or for these thingsthese people,” declares the LORD, “And on a nation such as this Shall I not avenge Myself?	7 Jos 23:7 Jer 12:16 Zep 1:5 Deu 32:21 Jer 2:11 Gal 4:8 Jer 7:9 8 Jer 13:27 Jer 29:23 Eze 22:11 9 Jer 9:9
¹⁰ “Go up through her vine rows and destroy, But do not execute a complete destruction; Strip away her branches, For they are not the LORD’S. ¹¹ “For the house of Israel and the house of Judah Have dealt very treacherously with Me,” declares the LORD. ¹² They have lied about the LORD And said, “^e Lit He is notNot He; Misfortune will not come on us, And we will not see sword or famine. ¹³ “The prophets are as wind, And the word is not in them. Thus it will be done to them!”	11 Jer 3:6 Jer 3:7 Jer 3:20 12 Ch2 36:16 Pro 30:9 Jer 14:22 Jer 43:1-4 Jer 23:17 Jer 14:13 13 Job 8:2 Jer 14:13 Jer 14:15 Jer 22:22
