Jeremiah 5:1-9 Run about in the streets of Jerusalem and see, and know, and seek in her broad places, if you can find one, if there is anyone that executes judgment, and seeks faithfulness, and I will pardon them, says the Lord.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Run about in the streets of Jerusalem and see, and know, and seek in her broad places, if you can find one, if there is anyone that executes judgment, and seeks faithfulness, and I will pardon them, says the Lord. ² The Lord lives, they say; do they not therefore swear falsely? ³ O Lord, Your eyes are upon faithfulness. You have scourged them, but they have not grieved; You have consumed them; but they would not receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock; and they would not return. ⁴ Then I said, It may be they are poor; for they are weak, for they know not the way of the Lord, or the judgment of God. ⁵ I will go to the rich men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of God. But, behold, with one consent they have broken the yoke, they have burst the bonds. ⁶ Therefore has a lion out of the forest smitten them, and a wolf has destroyed them, even to their houses, and a leopard has watched against their cities. All that go forth from them shall be hunted, for they have multiplied their ungodliness, they have strengthened themselves in their backslidings. ⁷ In what way shall I forgive you for these things? Your sons have forsaken Me, and sworn by them that are not gods. And I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and lodged in harlots' houses. ⁸ They became as wanton horses — each one neighed after his neighbor's wife. ⁹ Shall I not punish them for these things? Says the Lord: and shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
