Jeremiah 5:3-31

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>_.

5:17

And they shall eat up
<0398> (8804)

thine harvest
<07105>_,

and thy bread
<03899>_,

[which] thy sons
<01121>

and thy daughters
<01323>

should eat
<0398> (8799)_:

they shall eat up
<0398> (8799)

thy flocks
<06629>

and thine herds
<01241>_:

they shall eat up
<0398> (8799)

thy vines
<01612>

and thy fig trees
<08384>_:

they shall impoverish
<07567> (8779)

thy fenced
<04013>

cities
<05892>_,

wherein thou
<02007>

trustedst
<0982> (8802)_,

with the sword
<02719>_.

5:18

Nevertheless in those days
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

I will not make
<06213> (8799)

a full end
<03617>

with you.

5:19

And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore
<08478> <04100>

doeth
<06213> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

all these [things] unto us? then shalt thou answer
<0559> (8804)

them, Like as ye have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me, and served
<05647> (8799)

strange
<05236>

gods
<0430>

in your land
<0776>_,

so shall ye serve
<05647> (8799)

strangers
<02114> (8801)

in a land
<0776>

[that is] not yours.

5:20

Declare
<05046> (8685)

this in the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and publish
<08085> (8685)

it in Judah
<03063>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

5:21

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}

5:22

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?

5:23

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)_.

5:24

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>_.

5:25

Your iniquities
<05771>

have turned away
<05186> (8689)

these [things], and your sins
<02403>

have withholden
<04513> (8804)

good
<02896>

[things] from you.

5:26

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}

5:27

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}

5:28

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)_.

5:29

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?

5:30

A wonderful
<08047>

and horrible thing
<08186>

is committed
<01961> (8738)

in the land
<0776>_;

{A wonderful...: or, Astonishment and filthiness}

5:31

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}
