Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:1 - Go to and fro in streets of Jerusalem, And see, I pray you, and know, And seek in her broad places, if ye find a man, If there be one doing judgment, seeking stedfastness -- Then am I propitious to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:2 - And if they say, 'Jehovah liveth,' Surely to a falsehood they swear.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:3 - Jehovah, Thine eyes, are they not on stedfastness? Thou hast smitten them, and they have not grieved, Thou hast consumed them, They have refused to receive instruction, They made their faces harder than a rock, They have refused to turn back.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:15 - Lo, I am bringing against you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah, A nation -- strong it is, a nation -- from of old it is, A nation -- thou knowest not its tongue, Nor understandest what it speaketh.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:16 - Its quiver is as an open sepulchre, All of them -- mighty ones.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:17 - And it hath consumed thy harvest and thy bread, They consume thy sons, and thy daughters, It consumeth thy flock, and thy herd, It consumeth thy vine, and thy fig-tree, It maketh poor thy fenced cities, In which thou art trusting -- by the sword.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:21 - Hear ye, I pray you, this, O people, foolish and without heart, Eyes they have, and they see not, Ears they have, and they hear not.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:22 - Me do ye not fear, an affirmation of Jehovah? From My presence are ye not pained? Who hath made sand the border of the sea, A limit age-during, and it passeth not over it, They shake themselves, and they are not able, Yea, sounded have its billows, and they pass not over.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:23 - And this people hath an apostate and rebellious heart, They have turned aside, and they go on.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:24 - And they have not said in their heart, 'Let us fear, we pray you, Jehovah our God, who is giving rain, The sprinkling and the gathered, in its season, The appointed weeks of harvest He keepeth for us.'
