Jeremiah 5:1-9 Run ye to and fro in the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in her broad places, if ye shall find a man, if there is he doing judgment, seeking faithfulness; and I will pardon to her.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Run ye to and fro in the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in her broad places, if ye shall find a man, if there is he doing judgment, seeking faithfulness; and I will pardon to her. ² And if Jehovah lives, they will say, for this they will swear to a falsehood. ³ O Jehovah, are not thine eyes upon faithfulness? thou didst smite them, and they were not pained; thou didst consume them, they refused to take instruction: they made their faces firm above the rock; they refused to turn back. ⁴ And I said, Surely, they are weak; they became foolish: for they knew not the way of Jehovah, the judgment of their God. ⁵ I will go for myself to the great ones, and I will speak to them; for they knew the way of Jehovah, the judgment of their God: surely they together broke the yoke and tore away the bonds. ⁶ For this, a lion from the forest struck them, a wolf of the deserts will destroy them, the panther watched over their cities: every one going forth from thence shall be torn in pieces; for their transgressions were multiplied, their turnings away were strong. ⁷ How shall I forgive to thee for this? thy sons forsook me, and they will swear by not God; and I will satisfy them, and they will commit adultery, and they will crowd themselves together to the house of the harlot ⁸ They were horses seducing to fornication: roaming about, they will neigh, a man for the wife of his neighbor. ⁹ For these shall I not review? says Jehovah; and shalt not my soul be avenged upon a nation such as this?
