Jeremiah 2:13

cracked cisterns which cannot even hold water.”

5:1 The Lord said,

“Go up and down through the streets of Jerusalem.

Look around and see for yourselves.

who deals honestly and tries to be truthful.

If you can, then I will not punish this city.

Jeremiah 5:19

Jeremiah 8:10

all of them are greedy for dishonest gain.

Prophets and priests alike,

all practice deceit.

that I, the Lord, act out of faithfulness, fairness, and justice in the earth

and that I desire people to do these things,”

says the Lord.

Deal with them while you are still angry!
