Jeremiah 5:7-9 How, for this, can I pardon thee? Thine own sons, have forsaken me, And have sworn by No–gods,––When I had fed them to the full, Then committed they adultery, And, the house of the unchaste woman, they used to throng:

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ How, for this, can I pardon thee? Thine own sons, have forsaken me, And have sworn by No–gods,––When I had fed them to the full, Then committed they adultery, And, the house of the unchaste woman, they used to throng: ⁸ Lusty, well–fed horses, had they become, Every man, unto his neighbour’s wife, would neigh! ⁹ For these things, shall I not punish? Demandeth Yahweh: Yea, on a nation such as this, must not my soul avenge herself?
