Jeremiah 5 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem , and see now, and know , and seek in her broad places , if ye can find a man , if there is any that executeth judgment , that seeketh the truth ; and I will pardon it.

Webster_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H7751 [H8786] Run ye to and fro H2351 through the streets H3389 of Jerusalem H7200 [H8798] , and see H3045 [H8798] now, and know H1245 [H8761] , and seek H7339 in her broad places H4672 [H8799] , if ye can find H376 a man H3426 , if there is H6213 [H8802] any that executeth H4941 judgment H1245 [H8764] , that seeketh H530 the truth H5545 [H8799] ; and I will pardon it.

2 H559 [H8799] And though they say H3068 , The LORD H2416 liveth H7650 [H8735] ; surely they swear H8267 falsely.

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

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

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

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

7 H335 How H5545 [H8799] shall I pardon H2063 thee for this H1121 ? thy children H5800 [H8804] have forsaken H7650 [H8735] me, and sworn H3808 by them that are no H430 gods H7650 [H8686] : when I had fed them to the full H5003 [H8799] , then they committed adultery H1413 [H8704] , and assembled themselves by troops H2181 [H8802] in the harlots H1004 ' houses.

8 H2109 [H8716] They were as fed H5483 horses H7904 [H8688] in the morning H376 : every one H6670 [H8799] neighed H7453 after his neighbour's H802 wife.

9 H6485 [H8799] Shall I not punish H5002 [H8803] for these things? saith H3068 the LORD H5315 : and shall not my soul H5358 [H8691] be avenged H1471 on such a nation as this?

10 H5927 [H8798] Go ye up H8284 upon her walls H7843 [H8761] , and destroy H6213 [H8799] ; but make H3617 not a full end H5493 [H8685] : take away H5189 her battlements H3068 ; for they are not the LORD'S.

11 H1004 For the house H3478 of Israel H1004 and the house H3063 of Judah H898 [H8800] have dealt very H898 [H8804] treacherously H5002 [H8803] against me, saith H3068 the LORD.

12 H3584 [H8765] They have denied H3068 the LORD H559 [H8799] , and said H7451 , It is not he; neither shall evil H935 [H8799] come H7200 [H8799] upon us; neither shall we see H2719 sword H7458 nor famine:

13 H5030 And the prophets H7307 shall become wind H1696 [H8763] , and the word H6213 [H8735] is not in them: thus shall it be done to them.

14 H559 [H8804] Therefore thus saith H3068 the LORD H430 God H6635 of hosts H1696 [H8763] , Because ye speak H1697 this word H5414 [H8802] , behold, I will make H1697 my words H6310 in thy mouth H784 fire H5971 , and this people H6086 wood H398 [H8804] , and it shall devour them.

15 H935 [H8688] Lo, I will bring H1471 a nation H4801 upon you from far H1004 , O house H3478 of Israel H5002 [H8803] , saith H3068 the LORD H386 : it is a mighty H1471 nation H5769 , it is an ancient H1471 nation H1471 , a nation H3956 whose language H3045 [H8799] thou knowest H8085 [H8799] not, neither understandest H1696 [H8762] what they say.

16 H827 Their quiver H6605 [H8803] is as an open H6913 sepulchre H1368 , they are all mighty men.

17 H398 [H8804] And they shall eat up H7105 thy harvest H3899 , and thy bread H1121 , which thy sons H1323 and thy daughters H398 [H8799] should eat H398 [H8799] : they shall eat up H6629 thy flocks H1241 and thy herds H398 [H8799] : they shall eat up H1612 thy vines H8384 and thy fig trees H7567 [H8779] : they shall impoverish H2719 with the sword H4013 thy fortified H5892 cities H2007 , in which thou H982 [H8802] didst trust.

18 H3117 Nevertheless in those days H5002 [H8803] , saith H3068 the LORD H6213 [H8799] , I will not make H3617 a full end with you.

19 H559 [H8799] And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say H8478 H4100 , Why H6213 [H8804] doeth H3068 the LORD H430 our God H559 [H8804] all these things to us? then shalt thou answer H5800 [H8804] them, As ye have forsaken H5647 [H8799] me, and served H5236 foreign H430 gods H776 in your land H5647 [H8799] , so shall ye serve H2114 [H8801] strangers H776 in a land that is not yours.

20 H5046 [H8685] Declare H1004 this in the house H3290 of Jacob H8085 [H8685] , and proclaim H3063 it in Judah H559 [H8800] , saying,

21 H8085 [H8798] Hear H5530 now this, O foolish H5971 people H3820 , and without understanding H5869 ; who have eyes H7200 [H8799] , and see H241 not; who have ears H8085 [H8799] , and hear not:

22 H3372 [H8799] Fear H5002 [H8803] ye not me? saith H3068 the LORD H2342 [H8799] : will ye not tremble H6440 at my presence H7760 [H8804] , who have placed H2344 the sand H1366 for the bound H3220 of the sea H5769 by a perpetual H2706 decree H5674 [H8799] , that it cannot pass H1530 it: and though its waves H1607 [H8691] toss H3201 [H8799] themselves, yet can they not prevail H1993 [H8804] ; though they roar H5674 [H8799] , yet can they not pass over it?

23 H5971 But this people H5637 [H8802] have a revolting H4784 [H8802] and a rebellious H3820 heart H5493 [H8804] ; they have revolted H3212 [H8799] and gone.

24 H559 [H8804] Neither say H3824 they in their heart H3372 [H8799] , Let us now fear H3068 the LORD H430 our God H5414 [H8802] , that giveth H1653 rain H3138 , both the former H4456 and the latter H6256 , in its season H8104 [H8799] : he reserveth H2708 to us the appointed H7620 weeks H7105 of harvest.

25 H5771 Your iniquities H5186 [H8689] have turned away H2403 these things, and your sins H4513 [H8804] have withheld H2896 good things from you.

26 H5971 For among my people H4672 [H8738] are found H7563 wicked H7789 [H8799] men: they lie in wait H7918 [H8800] , as he that setteth H3353 snares H5324 [H8689] ; they set H4889 a trap H3920 [H8799] , they catch H582 men.

27 H3619 As a cage H4392 is full H5775 of birds H1004 , so are their houses H4392 full H4820 of deceit H1431 [H8804] : therefore they have become great H6238 [H8686] , and have grown rich.

28 H8080 [H8804] They have become fat H6245 [H8804] , they shine H5674 [H8804] : yea, they exceed H1697 the deeds H7451 of the wicked H1777 [H8804] : they judge H1779 not the cause H3490 , the cause of the fatherless H6743 [H8686] , yet they prosper H4941 ; and the right H34 of the needy H8199 [H8804] do they not judge.

29 H6485 [H8799] Shall I not punish H5002 [H8803] for these things? saith H3068 the LORD H5315 : shall not my soul H5358 [H8691] be avenged H1471 on such a nation as this?

30 H8047 A wonderful H8186 and horrible thing H1961 [H8738] is committed H776 in the land;

31 H5030 The prophets H5012 [H8738] prophesy H8267 falsely H3548 , and the priests H7287 [H8799] bear rule H3027 by their means H5971 ; and my people H157 [H8804] love H6213 [H8799] to have it so: and what will ye do H319 in its end?
