Jeremiah 5

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.
And though they say
<0559> (8799)_,
The LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_;
surely they swear
<07650> (8735)
falsely
<08267>_.
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)_.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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?
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>_.
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>_.
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>_:
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.
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.
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)_.
Their quiver
<0827>
[is] as an open
<06605> (8803)
sepulchre
<06913>_,
they [are] all mighty men
<01368>_.
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>_.
Nevertheless in those days
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
I will not make
<06213> (8799)
a full end
<03617>
with you.
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.
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}
