@ Run ye to and
fro
through the
streets

Jerusalem

see
now, and
know

seek
in the broad
places
thereof, if ye can
find
a
man
, if there
be
any that
executeth
judgment
, that
seeketh
the
truth
; and I will
pardon
it.

say

LORD
liveth
; surely they
swear
falsely
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:5:3
@ O
LORD
, are not thine
eyes
upon the
truth
? thou hast
stricken
them, but they have not
grieved
; thou hast
consumed
them, but they have
refused
to
receive
correction
: they have made their
faces
harder
than a
rock
; they have
refused
to
return
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:5:4
@ Therefore I
said
, Surely these are
poor
; they are
foolish
: for they
know
not the
way
of the
LORD
, nor the
judgment
of their
God
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:5:5
@ I will
get
me unto the great
men
, and will
speak
unto them; for they have
known
the
way
of the
LORD

judgment
of their
God
: but these have
altogether
broken
the
yoke
, and
burst
the
bonds

@ Wherefore a
lion
out of the
forest
shall
slay
them, and a
wolf
of the
evenings
shall
spoil
them, a
leopard
shall
watch
over their
cities
: every one that goeth
out
thence
shall
be torn in
pieces
: because their
transgressions
are
many
, and their
backslidings
are
increased

@
How
shall I
pardon
thee for
this
? thy
children
have
forsaken
me, and
sworn
by them that are
no
gods
: when I had fed them to the
full
, they then committed
adultery
, and assembled themselves by
troops
in the
harlots
houses
