Jer 5:2

Jer 5:2Though they say, As the LORD lives; surely they swear falsely.

Jer 5:3

Jer 5:4

Jer 5:4Then I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish; for they don't know the way of the LORD, nor the law of their God:

Jer 5:5

Jer 5:5I will get me to the great men, and will speak to them; for they know the way of the LORD, and the law of their God. But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

Jer 5:6

Jer 5:12

Jer 5:12They have denied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come on us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:

Jer 5:13

Jer 5:13and the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done to them.

Jer 5:15

Jer 5:15Behold, I will bring a nation on you from far, house of Yisra'el, says the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you don't know, neither understand what they say.

Jer 5:16

Jer 5:20

Jer 5:20Declare you this in the house of Ya`akov, and publish it in Yehudah, saying,

Jer 5:21

Jer 5:21Hear now this, foolish people, and without understanding; who have eyes, and don't see; who have ears, and don't hear:

Jer 5:22

Jer 5:22Don't you fear me? says the LORD: won't you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can't pass it? and though the waves of it toss themselves, yet they can't prevail; though they roar, yet they can't pass over it.

Jer 5:23

Jer 5:23But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
