Jerusalem's Godlessness

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:1 - “Roam to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem,
And look now and take note.
And seek in her open squares,
If you can find a man,
If there is one who does justice, who seeks [fn]truth,
Then I will pardon her.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:2 - “And although they say, ‘As the LORD lives,’
Surely they swear falsely.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:3 - O LORD, do not Your eyes look for [fn]truth?
You have smitten them,
But they did not [fn]weaken;
You have consumed them,
But they refused to take correction.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to repent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:4 - Then I said, “They are only the poor,
They are foolish;
For they do not know the way of the LORD
Or the ordinance of their God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:5 - “I will go to the great
And will speak to them,
For they know the way of the LORD
And the ordinance of their God.”
But they too, with one accord, have broken the yoke
And burst the bonds.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:6 - Therefore a lion from the forest will slay them,
A wolf of the deserts will destroy them,
A leopard is watching their cities.
Everyone who goes out of them will be torn in pieces,
Because their transgressions are many,
Their apostasies are numerous.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:7 - “Why should I pardon you?
Your sons have forsaken Me
And sworn by those who are not gods.

They committed adultery
And trooped to the harlot’s house.

Each one neighing after his neighbor’s wife.

Shall I not avenge Myself?

But do not execute a complete destruction;
Strip away her branches,
For they are not the LORDS.

Have dealt very treacherously with Me,” declares the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:12 - They have lied about the LORD
And said,[fn]Not He;
Misfortune will not come on us,
And we will not see sword or famine.

And the word is not in them.
Thus it will be done to them!”

Behold, I am making My words in your mouth fire
And this people wood, and it will consume them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:15 - “Behold, I am bringing a nation against you from afar, O house of Israel,” declares the LORD.

All of them are mighty men.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:17 - “They will devour your harvest and your food;

And proclaim it in Judah, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:21 - ‘Now hear this, O foolish and [fn]senseless people,
Who have eyes but do not see;
Who have ears but do not hear.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:22 - ‘Do you not fear Me?’ declares the LORD.

An eternal decree, so it cannot cross over it.
Though the waves toss, yet they cannot prevail;
Though they roar, yet they cannot cross over it.

They have turned aside and departed.

The appointed weeks of the harvest.”

Shall I not avenge Myself?’
