Jeremiah 5:1-16

5:1

Run ye to and fro
<07751> (8786)

through the streets
<02351>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)

now, and know
<03045> (8798)_,

and seek
<01245> (8761)

in the broad places
<07339>

thereof, if ye can find
<04672> (8799)

a man
<0376>_,

if there be
<03426>

[any] that executeth
<06213> (8802)

judgment
<04941>_,

that seeketh
<01245> (8764)

the truth
<0530>_;

and I will pardon
<05545> (8799)

it.

5:2

And though they say
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_;

surely they swear
<07650> (8735)

falsely
<08267>_.

5:3

O LORD
<03068>_,

[are] not thine eyes
<05869>

upon the truth
<0530>_?

thou hast stricken
<05221> (8689)

them, but they have not grieved
<02342> (8804)_;

thou hast consumed
<03615> (8765)

them, [but] they have refused
<03985> (8765)

to receive
<03947> (8800)

correction
<04148>_:

they have made their faces
<06440>

harder
<02388> (8765)

than a rock
<05553>_;

they have refused
<03985> (8765)

to return
<07725> (8800)_.

5:4

Therefore I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Surely these [are] poor
<01800>_;

they are foolish
<02973> (8738)_:

for they know
<03045> (8804)

not the way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[nor] the judgment
<04941>

of their God
<0430>_.

5:5

I will get
<03212> (8799)

me unto the great men
<01419>_,

and will speak
<01696> (8762)

unto them; for they have known
<03045> (8804)

the way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[and] the judgment
<04941>

of their God
<0430>_:

but these have altogether
<03162>

broken
<07665> (8804)

the yoke
<05923>_,

[and] burst
<05423> (8765)

the bonds
<04147>_.

5:6

Wherefore a lion
<0738>

out of the forest
<03293>

shall slay
<05221> (8689)

them, [and] a wolf
<02061>

of the evenings
<06160>

shall spoil
<07703> (8799)

them, a leopard
<05246>

shall watch
<08245> (8802)

over their cities
<05892>_:

every one that goeth out
<03318> (8802)

thence shall
<02007>

be torn in pieces
<02963> (8735)_:

because their transgressions
<06588>

are many
<07231> (8804)_,

[and] their backslidings
<04878>

are increased
<06105> (8804)_.

{evenings: or, deserts} {are increased: Heb. are strong}

5:7

How
<0335>

shall I pardon
<05545> (8799)

thee for this
<02063>_?

thy children
<01121>

have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me, and sworn
<07650> (8735)

by [them that are] no
<03808>

gods
<0430>_:

when I had fed them to the full
<07650> (8686)_,

they then committed adultery
<05003> (8799)_,

and assembled themselves by troops
<01413> (8704)

in the harlots
<02181> (8802)_'

houses
<01004>_.

5:8

They were [as] fed
<02109> (8716)

horses
<05483>

in the morning
<07904> (8688)_:

every one
<0376>

neighed
<06670> (8799)

after his neighbour's
<07453>

wife
<0802>_.

5:9

Shall I not visit
<06485> (8799)

for these [things]? saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

and shall not my soul
<05315>

be avenged
<05358> (8691)

on such a nation
<01471>

as this?

5:10

Go ye up
<05927> (8798)

upon her walls
<08284>_,

and destroy
<07843> (8761)_;

but make
<06213> (8799)

not a full end
<03617>_:

take away
<05493> (8685)

her battlements
<05189>_;

for they [are] not the LORD'S
<03068>_.

5:11

For the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

and the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

have dealt very
<0898> (8800)

treacherously
<0898> (8804)

against me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

5:12

They have belied
<03584> (8765)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] not he; neither shall evil
<07451>

come
<0935> (8799)

upon us; neither shall we see
<07200> (8799)

sword
<02719>

nor famine
<07458>_:

5:13

And the prophets
<05030>

shall become wind
<07307>_,

and the word
<01696> (8763)

[is] not in them: thus shall it be done
<06213> (8735)

unto them.

5:14

Wherefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_,

Because ye speak
<01696> (8763)

this word
<01697>_,

behold, I will make
<05414> (8802)

my words
<01697>

in thy mouth
<06310>

fire
<0784>_,

and this people
<05971>

wood
<06086>_,

and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)

them.

5:15

Lo, I will bring
<0935> (8688)

a nation
<01471>

upon you from far
<04801>_,

O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

it [is] a mighty
<0386>

nation
<01471>_,

it [is] an ancient
<05769>

nation
<01471>_,

a nation
<01471>

whose language
<03956>

thou knowest
<03045> (8799)

not, neither understandest
<08085> (8799)

what they say
<01696> (8762)_.

5:16

Their quiver
<0827>

[is] as an open
<06605> (8803)

sepulchre
<06913>_,

they [are] all mighty men
<01368>_.
