Jeremiah 5




updv@Jeremiah:5:1 @ Run(note:){+}(:note) to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places of it, if you{+} can find a man, if there is any who does justly, who seeks truth; and I will pardon her.

updv@Jeremiah:5:2 @ And if they say, As Yahweh lives; surely they swear falsely.

updv@Jeremiah:5:3 @ O Yahweh, don't your eyes look at truth? You have stricken them, but they were not grieved; you have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

updv@Jeremiah:5:4 @ Then I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish; for they don't know the way of Yahweh, nor the law of their God:

updv@Jeremiah:5:5 @ I will get myself to the great men, and will speak to them; for they know the way of Yahweh, and the law of their God. But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

updv@Jeremiah:5:6 @ Therefore a lion out of the forest will slay them, a wolf of the evenings will destroy them, a leopard will watch against their cities; everyone who goes out from there will be torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, [and] their backslidings have increased.

updv@Jeremiah:5:7 @ How can I pardon you? Your sons have forsaken me, and sworn by those that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and they dwell at a prostitute's house.

updv@Jeremiah:5:8 @ They were as fed horses roaming at large; everyone neighed after his fellow man's wife.

updv@Jeremiah:5:9 @ Shall I not visit for these things? says Yahweh; and will not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

updv@Jeremiah:5:10 @ Go(note:){+}(:note) up on her walls, and destroy; but don't make a full end: take away her branches; for they are not Yahweh's.

updv@Jeremiah:5:11 @ For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have totally betrayed me, says Yahweh.

updv@Jeremiah:5:12 @ They have denied Yahweh, and said, It is not he; neither will evil come upon us; neither will we see sword nor famine:

updv@Jeremiah:5:13 @ and the prophets will become wind, and the word is not in them: thus it will be done to them.

updv@Jeremiah:5:14 @ Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, Because you(note:){+}(:note) speak this word, look, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it will devour them.

updv@Jeremiah:5:15 @ Look, I will bring a nation on you(note:){+}(:note) from far, O house of Israel, says Yahweh: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you don't know, neither understand what they say.

updv@Jeremiah:5:16 @ Their quiver is an open tomb, they are all mighty men.

updv@Jeremiah:5:17 @ And they will eat up your harvest, and your bread, [which] your sons and your daughters should eat; they will eat up your flocks and your herds; they will eat up your vines and your fig-trees; they will beat down your fortified cities, in which you trust, with the sword.

updv@Jeremiah:5:18 @ But even in those days, says Yahweh, I will not make a full end with you(note:){+}(:note).

updv@Jeremiah:5:19 @ And it will come to pass, when you(note:){+}(:note) will say, Why has Yahweh our God done all these things to us? Then you will say to them, Like you{+} have forsaken me, and served foreign gods in your{+} land, so you{+} will serve strangers in a land that is not yours{+}.

updv@Jeremiah:5:20 @ Declare(note:){+}(:note) this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,

updv@Jeremiah:5:21 @ Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; that have eyes, and don't see; that have ears, and don't hear:

updv@Jeremiah:5:22 @ Don't you(note:){+}(:note) fear me? says Yahweh: Will you{+} not tremble at my presence, who has placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can't pass it? And though its waves toss themselves, yet they can't prevail; though they roar, yet they can't pass over it.

updv@Jeremiah:5:23 @ But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they have revolted and gone.

updv@Jeremiah:5:24 @ Neither do they say in their heart, Let us now fear Yahweh our God, that gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season; that preserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

updv@Jeremiah:5:25 @ Your(note:){+}(:note) iniquities have turned away these things, and your{+} sins have withheld good from you{+}.

updv@Jeremiah:5:26 @ For among my people are found wicked men: they watch, as a fowler lying in wait; they set a trap, they catch men.

updv@Jeremiah:5:27 @ As a cage is full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit: therefore they have become great, and waxed rich.

updv@Jeremiah:5:28 @ They are waxed fat, they shine: yes, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they don't plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and they don't judge the right of the needy.

updv@Jeremiah:5:29 @ Shall I not visit for these things? says Yahweh; will not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

updv@Jeremiah:5:30 @ A wonderful and horrible thing has come to pass in the land:

updv@Jeremiah:5:31 @ the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you(note:){+}(:note) do in the end of it?
