Jeremiah 5:6-9

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?

Jeremiah 5:25-31

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}
