Jeremiah 5:3-6 O Yahweh! thine own eyes, are they not directed to fidelity? Thou hast smitten them, Yet have they not grieved, Thou hast consumed them––They have refused to receive correction,––They have made their faces bolder than a cliff, They have refused to return.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ O Yahweh! thine own eyes, are they not directed to fidelity? Thou hast smitten them, Yet have they not grieved, Thou hast consumed them––They have refused to receive correction,––They have made their faces bolder than a cliff, They have refused to return. ⁴ And, I, said,––Only, poor people, are, they,––They act foolishly, For they know not, the way of Yahweh, the justice of their God! ⁵ I will betake me unto the great men, and will speak, with them! For, they, know, the way of Yahweh, the justice of their God! Yea but, they, with one accord, have, broken the yoke, torn off the bands. ⁶ For this cause, hath the lion out of the forest smitten them, The wolf of the waste plains, preyeth, upon them, The leopard, is keeping watch over their cities, Every one that goeth out from thence, is torn in pieces,––For they have multiplied their transgressions, Numerous, are their apostasies.
