Jeremiah 5

1

Run ye to and froh7751h8786 through the streetsh2351 of Jerusalemh3389, and seeh7200h8798 now, and knowh3045h8798, and seekh1245h8761 in the broad placesh7339 thereof, if ye can findh4672h8799 a manh376, if there beh3426 any that executethh6213h8802 judgmenth4941, that seekethh1245h8764 the truthh530; and I will pardonh5545h8799 it.

2

And though they sayh559h8799, The LORDh3068 livethh2416; surely they swearh7650h8735 falselyh8267.

3

O LORDh3068, are not thine eyesh5869 upon the truthh530? thou hast strickenh5221h8689 them, but they have not grievedh2342h8804; thou hast consumedh3615h8765 them, but they have refusedh3985h8765 to receiveh3947h8800 correctionh4148: they have made their facesh6440 harderh2388h8765 than a rockh5553; they have refusedh3985h8765 to returnh7725h8800.

4

Therefore I saidh559h8804, Surely these are poorh1800; they are foolishh2973h8738: for they knowh3045h8804 not the wayh1870 of the LORDh3068, nor the judgmenth4941 of their Godh430.

5

I will geth3212h8799 me unto the great menh1419, and will speakh1696h8762 unto them; for they have knownh3045h8804 the wayh1870 of the LORDh3068, and the judgmenth4941 of their Godh430: but these have altogetherh3162 brokenh7665h8804 the yokeh5923, and bursth5423h8765 the bondsh4147.

6

Wherefore a lionh738 out of the foresth3293 shall slayh5221h8689 them, and a wolfh2061 of the eveningsh6160 shall spoilh7703h8799 them, a leopardh5246 shall watchh8245h8802 over their citiesh5892: every one that goeth outh3318h8802 thence shallh2007 be torn in piecesh2963h8735: because their transgressionsh6588 are manyh7231h8804, and their backslidingsh4878 are increasedh6105h8804. evenings: or, deserts
are increased: Heb. are strong

7

Howh335 shall I pardonh5545h8799 thee for thish2063? thy childrenh1121 have forsakenh5800h8804 me, and swornh7650h8735 by them that are noh3808 godsh430: when I had fed them to the fullh7650h8686, they then committed adulteryh5003h8799, and assembled themselves by troopsh1413h8704 in the harlotsh2181h8802' housesh1004.

8

They were as fedh2109h8716 horsesh5483 in the morningh7904h8688: every oneh376 neighedh6670h8799 after his neighbour'sh7453 wifeh802.

9

Shall I not visith6485h8799 for these things ? saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068: and shall not my soulh5315 be avengedh5358h8691 on such a nationh1471 as this?

10

Go ye uph5927h8798 upon her wallsh8284, and destroyh7843h8761; but makeh6213h8799 not a full endh3617: take awayh5493h8685 her battlementsh5189; for they are not the LORD'Sh3068.

11

For the househ1004 of Israelh3478 and the househ1004 of Judahh3063 have dealt veryh898h8800 treacherouslyh898h8804 against me, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068.

12

They have beliedh3584h8765 the LORDh3068, and saidh559h8799, It is not he; neither shall evilh7451 comeh935h8799 upon us; neither shall we seeh7200h8799 swordh2719 nor famineh7458:

13

And the prophetsh5030 shall become windh7307, and the wordh1696h8763 is not in them: thus shall it be doneh6213h8735 unto them.

14

Wherefore thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068 Godh430 of hostsh6635, Because ye speakh1696h8763 this wordh1697, behold, I will makeh5414h8802 my wordsh1697 in thy mouthh6310 fireh784, and this peopleh5971 woodh6086, and it shall devourh398h8804 them.

15

Lo, I will bringh935h8688 a nationh1471 upon you from farh4801, O househ1004 of Israelh3478, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068: it is a mightyh386 nationh1471, it is an ancienth5769 nationh1471, a nationh1471 whose languageh3956 thou knowesth3045h8799 not, neither understandesth8085h8799 what they sayh1696h8762.

16

Their quiverh827 is as an openh6605h8803 sepulchreh6913, they are all mighty menh1368.

17

And they shall eat uph398h8804 thine harvesth7105, and thy breadh3899, which thy sonsh1121 and thy daughtersh1323 should eath398h8799: they shall eat uph398h8799 thy flocksh6629 and thine herdsh1241: they shall eat uph398h8799 thy vinesh1612 and thy fig treesh8384: they shall impoverishh7567h8779 thy fencedh4013 citiesh5892, wherein thouh2007 trustedsth982h8802, with the swordh2719.

18

Nevertheless in those daysh3117, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068, I will not makeh6213h8799 a full endh3617 with you.

19

And it shall come to pass, when ye shall sayh559h8799, Whereforeh8478h4100 doethh6213h8804 the LORDh3068 our Godh430 all these things unto us? then shalt thou answerh559h8804 them, Like as ye have forsakenh5800h8804 me, and servedh5647h8799 strangeh5236 godsh430 in your landh776, so shall ye serveh5647h8799 strangersh2114h8801 in a landh776 that is not yours.

20

Declareh5046h8685 this in the househ1004 of Jacobh3290, and publishh8085h8685 it in Judahh3063, sayingh559h8800,

21

Hearh8085h8798 now this, O foolishh5530 peopleh5971, and without understandingh3820; which have eyesh5869, and seeh7200h8799 not; which have earsh241, and hearh8085h8799 not: understanding: Heb. heart

22

Fearh3372h8799 ye not me? saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068: will ye not trembleh2342h8799 at my presenceh6440, which have placedh7760h8804 the sandh2344 for the boundh1366 of the seah3220 by a perpetualh5769 decreeh2706, that it cannot passh5674h8799 it: and though the wavesh1530 thereof tossh1607h8691 themselves, yet can they not prevailh3201h8799; though they roarh1993h8804, yet can they not pass overh5674h8799 it?

23

But this peopleh5971 hath a revoltingh5637h8802 and a rebellioush4784h8802 hearth3820; they are revoltedh5493h8804 and goneh3212h8799.

24

Neither sayh559h8804 they in their hearth3824, Let us now fearh3372h8799 the LORDh3068 our Godh430, that givethh5414h8802 rainh1653, both the formerh3138 and the latterh4456, in his seasonh6256: he reservethh8104h8799 unto us the appointedh2708 weeksh7620 of the harvesth7105.

25

Your iniquitiesh5771 have turned awayh5186h8689 these things , and your sinsh2403 have withholdenh4513h8804 goodh2896 things from you.

26

For among my peopleh5971 are foundh4672h8738 wickedh7563 men : they lay waith7789h8799, as he that settethh7918h8800 snaresh3353; they seth5324h8689 a traph4889, they catchh3920h8799 menh582. they lay...: or, they pry as fowlers lie in wait

27

As a cageh3619 is fullh4392 of birdsh5775, so are their housesh1004 fullh4392 of deceith4820: therefore they are become greath1431h8804, and waxen richh6238h8686. cage: or, coop

28

They are waxen fath8080h8804, they shineh6245h8804: yea, they overpassh5674h8804 the deedsh1697 of the wickedh7451: they judgeh1777h8804 not the causeh1779, the cause of the fatherlessh3490, yet they prosperh6743h8686; and the righth4941 of the needyh34 do they not judgeh8199h8804.

29

Shall I not visith6485h8799 for these things ? saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068: shall not my soulh5315 be avengedh5358h8691 on such a nationh1471 as this?

30

A wonderfulh8047 and horrible thingh8186 is committedh1961h8738 in the landh776; A wonderful...: or, Astonishment and filthiness

31

The prophetsh5030 prophesyh5012h8738 falselyh8267, and the priestsh3548 bear ruleh7287h8799 by their meansh3027; and my peopleh5971 loveh157h8804 to have it so: and what will ye doh6213h8799 in the endh319 thereof? bear...: or, take into their hands
