Jeremiah 5:3-6 O LORD , are not thine eyes upon the truth ? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved ; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction : they have made their faces harder than a rock ; they have refused to return .

3 H3068 O LORD H5869 , are not thine eyes H530 upon the truth H5221 ? thou hast stricken [H8689] H2342 them, but they have not grieved [H8804] H3615 ; thou hast consumed [H8765] H3985 them, but they have refused [H8765] H3947 to receive [H8800] H4148 correction H6440 : they have made their faces H2388 harder [H8765] H5553 than a rock H3985 ; they have refused [H8765] H7725 to return [H8800] .

4 H559 Therefore I said [H8804] H1800 , Surely these are poor H2973 ; they are foolish [H8738] H3045 : for they know [H8804] H1870 not the way H3068 of the LORD H4941 , nor the judgment H430 of their God.

5 H3212 I will get [H8799] H1419 me unto the great men H1696 , and will speak [H8762] H3045 unto them; for they have known [H8804] H1870 the way H3068 of the LORD H4941 , and the judgment H430 of their God H3162 : but these have altogether H7665 broken [H8804] H5923 the yoke H5423 , and burst [H8765] H4147 the bonds.

6 H738 Wherefore a lion H3293 out of the forest H5221 shall slay [H8689] H2061 them, and a wolf H6160 of the evenings H7703 shall spoil [H8799] H5246 them, a leopard H8245 shall watch [H8802] H5892 over their cities H3318 : every one that goeth out [H8802] H2007 thence shall H2963 be torn in pieces [H8735] H6588 : because their transgressions H7231 are many [H8804] H4878 , and their backslidings H6105 are increased [H8804] .

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ O LORD, do not thine eyes look upon truth? thou hast stricken them, but they were not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return. ⁴ Then I said, Surely these are poor: they are foolish; for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God: ⁵ I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they know the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God. But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bands. ⁶ Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities, every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, [and] their backslidings are increased.
