Jeremiah 5:3-6
3O Yahweh, do not aYour eyes look for faithfulness?You have bstruck them,But they did not 1weaken;You have consumed them,But they crefused to receive discipline.They have dmade their faces stronger than rock;They have refused to 2repent.4Then I said, “They are only the poor;They are foolish;For they ado not know the way of YahwehOr the legal judgment of their God.5“Let me go to the greatAnd let me speak to them,For athey know the way of YahwehAnd the legal judgment of their God.”But they too, altogether, have bbroken the yokeAnd torn apart the bonds.6Therefore aa lion from the forest will strike them down;A bwolf of the deserts will devastate them;A cleopard is watching their cities.Everyone who goes out of them will be torn in piecesBecause their dtransgressions are many;Their acts of faithlessness are mighty.
