Jeremiah 5:20-31

Declare
<05046> (8685)
this in the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and publish
<08085> (8685)
it in Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
now this, O foolish
<05530>
people
<05971>_,
and without understanding
<03820>_;
which have eyes
<05869>_,
and see
<07200> (8799)
not; which have ears
<0241>_,
and hear
<08085> (8799)
not: {understanding: Heb. heart}
Fear
<03372> (8799)
ye not me? saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
will ye not tremble
<02342> (8799)
at my presence
<06440>_,
which have placed
<07760> (8804)
the sand
<02344>
[for] the bound
<01366>
of the sea
<03220>
by a perpetual
<05769>
decree
<02706>_,
that it cannot pass
<05674> (8799)
it: and though the waves
<01530>
thereof toss
<01607> (8691)
themselves, yet can they not prevail
<03201> (8799)_;
though they roar
<01993> (8804)_,
yet can they not pass over
<05674> (8799)
it?
But this people
<05971>
hath a revolting
<05637> (8802)
and a rebellious
<04784> (8802)
heart
<03820>_;
they are revolted
<05493> (8804)
and gone
<03212> (8799)_.
Neither say
<0559> (8804)
they in their heart
<03824>_,
Let us now fear
<03372> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
that giveth
<05414> (8802)
rain
<01653>_,
both the former
<03138>
and the latter
<04456>_,
in his season
<06256>_:
he reserveth
<08104> (8799)
unto us the appointed
<02708>
weeks
<07620>
of the harvest
<07105>_.
Your iniquities
<05771>
have turned away
<05186> (8689)
these [things], and your sins
<02403>
have withholden
<04513> (8804)
good
<02896>
[things] from you.
For among my people
<05971>
are found
<04672> (8738)
wicked
<07563>
[men]: they lay wait
<07789> (8799)_,
as he that setteth
<07918> (8800)
snares
<03353>_;
they set
<05324> (8689)
a trap
<04889>_,
they catch
<03920> (8799)
men
<0582>_.
{they lay...: or, they pry as fowlers lie in wait}
As a cage
<03619>
is full
<04392>
of birds
<05775>_,
so [are] their houses
<01004>
full
<04392>
of deceit
<04820>_:
therefore they are become great
<01431> (8804)_,
and waxen rich
<06238> (8686)_.
{cage: or, coop}
They are waxen fat
<08080> (8804)_,
they shine
<06245> (8804)_:
yea, they overpass
<05674> (8804)
the deeds
<01697>
of the wicked
<07451>_:
they judge
<01777> (8804)
not the cause
<01779>_,
the cause of the fatherless
<03490>_,
yet they prosper
<06743> (8686)_;
and the right
<04941>
of the needy
<034>
do they not judge
<08199> (8804)_.
Shall I not visit
<06485> (8799)
for these [things]? saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
shall not my soul
<05315>
be avenged
<05358> (8691)
on such a nation
<01471>
as this?
A wonderful
<08047>
and horrible thing
<08186>
is committed
<01961> (8738)
in the land
<0776>_;
{A wonderful...: or, Astonishment and filthiness}
The prophets
<05030>
prophesy
<05012> (8738)
falsely
<08267>_,
and the priests
<03548>
bear rule
<07287> (8799)
by their means
<03027>_;
and my people
<05971>
love
<0157> (8804)
[to have it] so: and what will ye do
<06213> (8799)
in the end
<0319>
thereof? {bear...: or, take into their hands}
