Jeremiah 5:3-5
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 O Lord, do not (A)Your eyes look for [a]truth?
You have (B)smitten them,
But they did not [b]weaken;
You have consumed them,
But they (C)refused to take correction.
They have (D)made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to repent.
4 Then I said, “They are only the poor,
They are foolish;
For they (E)do not know the way of the Lord
Or the ordinance of their God.
5 “I will go to the great
And will speak to them,
For (F)they know the way of the Lord
And the ordinance of their God.”
But they too, with one accord, have (G)broken the yoke
And burst the bonds.
