Jeremiah 5:29-31

International Standard Version

²⁹‘Should I not punish them for this?’^[a]
asks the Lord.
‘Should I not avenge myself
on a nation like this?’

³⁰“An appalling and horrible thing
    has happened in the land:
³¹The prophets prophesy falsely,
    the priests rule by their own authority,
and my people love it this way.
    But what will you do in the end?”
