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 doeth justly, that seeketh truth; and I will pardon
her. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:2 |
|
And though they say, As Jehovah liveth; surely
they swear falsely. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:3 |
|
O Jehovah, do not thine eyes look upon truth?
thou hast stricken them, but they were 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. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:4 |
|
Then I said, Surely these are poor; they are
foolish; for they know not the way of Jehovah, nor the law of their God: |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:5 |
|
I will get me unto the great men, and will speak
unto them; for they know the way of Jehovah, and the law of their God. But these
with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:6 |
|
Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay
them, a wolf of the evenings shall destroy them, a leopard shall watch against
their cities; every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces; because
their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:7 |
|
How can I pardon thee? thy children have forsaken
me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they
committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the harlots' houses.
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:8 |
|
They were as fed horses roaming at large; every
one neighed after his neighbor's wife. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:9 |
|
Shall I not visit for these things? saith Jehovah;
and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:10 |
|
Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make
not a full end: take away her branches; for they are not Jehovah's. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:11 |
|
For the house of Israel and the house of Judah
have dealt very treacherously against me, saith Jehovah. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:12 |
|
They have denied Jehovah, and said, It is not
he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:13 |
|
and the prophets shall become wind, and the
word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:14 |
|
Wherefore thus saith Jehovah, the 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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:15 |
|
Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far,
O house of Israel, saith Jehovah: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation,
a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:16 |
|
Their quiver is an open sepulchre, they are
all mighty men. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:17 |
|
And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy
bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat; they shall eat up thy flocks
and thy herds; they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees; they shall beat
down thy fortified cities, wherein thou trustest, with the sword. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:18 |
|
But even in those days, saith Jehovah, I will
not make a full end with you. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:19 |
|
And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say,
Wherefore hath Jehovah our God done all these things unto us? then shalt thou
say unto them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served foreign gods in your land,
so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:20 |
|
Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, and publish
it in Judah, saying, |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:21 |
|
Hear now this, O foolish people, and without
understanding; that have eyes, and see not; that have ears, and hear not: |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:22 |
|
Fear ye not me? saith Jehovah: will ye not tremble
at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual
decree, that it cannot pass it? and though the waves thereof toss themselves,
yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:23 |
|
But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious
heart; they are revolted and gone. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:24 |
|
Neither say they in their heart, Let us now
fear Jehovah our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in its
season; that preserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:25 |
|
Your iniquities have turned away these things,
and your sins have withholden good from you. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:26 |
|
For among my people are found wicked men: they
watch, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:27 |
|
As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses
full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxed rich. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:28 |
|
They are waxed fat, they shine: yea, they overpass
in deeds of wickedness; they plead not the cause, the cause of the fatherless,
that they may prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:29 |
|
Shall I not visit for these things? saith Jehovah;
shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 5:30 |
|
A wonderful and horrible thing is come to pass
in the land: |
|
|
|
|
| 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 ye do
in the end thereof? |
