Jeremiah 5:1 Run ye to and fro7751 through the streets2351 of Jerusalem,3389 and see7200 now, and know,3045 and seek1245 in the broad places7339 thereof, if ye can find4672 a man,376 if there be3426any that executeth6213 judgment,4941 that seeketh1245 the truth;530 and I will pardon5545 it.
2 And though they say,559 The LORD3068 liveth;2416 surely they swear7650 falsely.82673 O LORD,3068are not thine eyes5869 upon the truth?530 thou hast stricken5221 them, but they have not grieved;2342 thou hast consumed3615 them, but they have refused3985 to receive3947 correction:4148 they have made their faces6440 harder2388 than a rock;5553 they have refused3985 to return.7725
Jeremiah 5:4 Therefore I said,559 Surely these are poor;1800 they are foolish:2973 for they know3045 not the way1870 of the LORD,3068nor the judgment4941 of their God.4305 I will get3212 me unto the great men,1419 and will speak1696 unto them; for they have known3045 the way1870 of the LORD,3068and the judgment4941 of their God:430 but these have altogether3162 broken7665 the yoke,5923and burst5423 the bonds.41476 Wherefore a lion738 out of the forest3293 shall slay5221 them, and a wolf2061 of the evenings6160{Or, deserts} shall spoil7703 them, a leopard5246 shall watch8245 over their cities:5892 every one that goeth out3318 thence shall2007 be torn in pieces:2963 because their transgressions6588 are many,7231and their backslidings4878 are increased.6105{Heb. are strong}
Jeremiah 5:7 How335 shall I pardon5545 thee for this?2063 thy children1121 have forsaken5800 me, and sworn7650 by themthatare no3808 gods:430 when I had fed them to the full,7650 they then committed adultery,5003 and assembled themselves by troops1413 in the harlots'2181 houses.10048 They were as fed2109 horses5483 in the morning:7904 every one376 neighed6670 after his neighbour's7453 wife.8029 Shall I not visit6485 for these things? saith5002 the LORD:3068 and shall not my soul5315 be avenged5358 on such a nation1471 as this?
Jeremiah 5:10 Go ye up5927 upon her walls,8284 and destroy;7843 but make6213 not a full end:3617 take away5493 her battlements;5189 for they are not the LORD'S.306811 For the house1004 of Israel3478 and the house1004 of Judah3063 have dealt very898 treacherously898 against me, saith5002 the LORD.306812 They have belied3584 the LORD,3068 and said,559Itis not he; neither shall evil7451 come935 upon us; neither shall we see7200 sword2719 nor famine:745813 And the prophets5030 shall become wind,7307 and the word1696is not in them: thus shall it be done6213 unto them.
14 Wherefore thus saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of hosts,6635 Because ye speak1696 this word,1697 behold, I will make5414 my words1697 in thy mouth6310 fire,784 and this people5971 wood,6086 and it shall devour398 them.
15 Lo, I will bring935 a nation1471 upon you from far,4801 O house1004 of Israel,3478 saith5002 the LORD:3068 it is a mighty386 nation,1471 it is an ancient5769 nation,1471 a nation1471 whose language3956 thou knowest3045 not, neither understandest8085 what they say.169616 Their quiver827is as an open6605 sepulchre,6913 they are all mighty men.136817 And they shall eat up398 thine harvest,7105 and thy bread,3899which thy sons1121 and thy daughters1323 should eat:398 they shall eat up398 thy flocks6629 and thine herds:1241 they shall eat up398 thy vines1612 and thy fig trees:8384 they shall impoverish7567 thy fenced4013 cities,5892 wherein thou2007 trustedst,982 with the sword.271918 Nevertheless in those days,3117 saith5002 the LORD,3068 I will not make6213 a full end3617 with you.
Jeremiah 5:19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say,559 Wherefore84784100 doeth6213 the LORD3068 our God430 all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer559 them, Like as ye have forsaken5800 me, and served5647 strange5236 gods430 in your land,776 so shall ye serve5647 strangers2114 in a land776thatis not yours.
Jeremiah 5:20 Declare5046 this in the house1004 of Jacob,3290 and publish8085 it in Judah,3063 saying,55921 Hear8085 now this, O foolish5530 people,5971 and without understanding;3820{Heb. heart} which have eyes,5869 and see7200 not; which have ears,241 and hear8085 not:
22 Fear3372 ye not me? saith5002 the LORD:3068 will ye not tremble2342 at my presence,6440 which have placed7760 the sand2344for the bound1366 of the sea3220 by a perpetual5769 decree,2706 that it cannot pass5674 it: and though the waves1530 thereof toss1607 themselves, yet can they not prevail;3201 though they roar,1993 yet can they not pass over5674 it?
23 But this people5971 hath a revolting5637 and a rebellious4784 heart;3820 they are revolted5493 and gone.321224 Neither say559 they in their heart,3824 Let us now fear3372 the LORD3068 our God,430 that giveth5414 rain,1653 both the former3138 and the latter,4456 in his season:6256 he reserveth8104 unto us the appointed2708 weeks7620 of the harvest.7105
Jeremiah 5:25 Your iniquities5771 have turned away5186 these things, and your sins2403 have withholden4513 good2896things from you.
26 For among my people5971 are found4672 wicked7563men: they lay wait,7789 as he that setteth7918 snares;3353{Or, they pry as foulers lie in wait} they set5324 a trap,4889 they catch3920 men.58227 As a cage3619{Or, coop} is full4392 of birds,5775 so are their houses1004 full4392 of deceit:4820 therefore they are become great,1431 and waxen rich.623828 They are waxen fat,8080 they shine:6245 yea, they overpass5674 the deeds1697 of the wicked:7451 they judge1777 not the cause,1779 the cause of the fatherless,3490 yet they prosper;6743 and the right4941 of the needy34 do they not judge.819929 Shall I not visit6485 for these things? saith5002 the LORD:3068 shall not my soul5315 be avenged5358 on such a nation1471 as this?
Jeremiah 5:30 A wonderful8047 and horrible thing8186{Or, astonishment and filthiness} is committed1961 in the land;77631 The prophets5030 prophesy5012 falsely,8267 and the priests3548 bear rule7287{Or, take into their hands} by their means;3027 and my people5971 love157tohaveit so: and what will ye do6213 in the end319 thereof?
