rsv Jeremiah:5:1-5 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem ,
look and take note !
Search her squares to see if you can find a man ,
one who does justice and seeks truth ;
that I may pardon her .
*
Though they say , "
As the LORD lives ,"
yet they swear falsely .
*
O LORD ,
do not thy eyes look for truth ?
Thou hast smitten them ,
but they felt no anguish ;
thou hast consumed them ,
but they refused to take correction .
They have made their faces harder than rock ;
they have refused to repent .
*
Then I said , "
These are only the poor ,
they have no sense ;
for they do not know the way of the LORD ,
the law of their God .
*
I will go to the great ,
and will speak to them ;
for they know the way of the LORD ,
the law of their God ."
But they all alike had broken the yoke ,
they had burst the bonds .
