Jeremiah:5:1-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem ,
and see now ,
and know ,
and 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 .
*
And though they say ,
The LORD liveth ;
surely they swear falsely .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
I will get me unto the great men ,
and will speak unto them ;
for they have known the way of the LORD ,
and the judgment of their God :
but these have altogether broken the yoke ,
and burst the bonds .
