Jeremiah 5:3-5
Names of God Bible
3 Yahweh, your eyes look for the truth.
You strike these people, but they don’t feel it.
You crush them, but they refuse to be corrected.
They are more stubborn than rocks.
They refuse to turn back.
4 I thought, “These are poor, foolish people.
They don’t know the way of Yahweh
and the justice that Elohim demands.
5 Let me go to important people and speak to them.
They know the way of Yahweh
and the justice that Elohim demands.”
But they, too, had broken off their yokes[a]
and torn off their chains.
Footnotes
- Jeremiah 5:5 A yoke is a wooden bar placed over the necks of work animals so that they can pull plows or carts.
