Jeremiah:5:1-17

kjv@Jeremiah:5:1 @ 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.

kjv@Jeremiah:5:2 @ And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.

kjv@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.

kjv@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.

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

kjv@Jeremiah:5:6 @ 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.

kjv@Jeremiah:5:7 @ 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.

kjv@Jeremiah:5:8 @ They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.

kjv@Jeremiah:5:9 @ Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

kjv@Jeremiah:5:10 @ Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD'S.

kjv@Jeremiah:5:11 @ For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.

kjv@Jeremiah:5:12 @ They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:

kjv@Jeremiah:5:13 @ And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.

kjv@Jeremiah:5:14 @ Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

kjv@Jeremiah:5:15 @ Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.

kjv@Jeremiah:5:16 @ Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.

kjv@Jeremiah:5:17 @ And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
