Jeremiah 5:5-7

Legacy Standard Bible

⁵ Let me go to the great
And let me speak to them,
For ^(A)they know the way of Yahweh
And the legal judgment of their God.”
But they too, altogether, have ^(B)broken the yoke
And torn apart the bonds.
⁶ Therefore ^(C)a lion from the forest will strike them down;
A ^(D)wolf of the deserts will devastate them;
A ^(E)leopard is watching their cities.
Everyone who goes out of them will be torn in pieces
Because their ^(F)transgressions are many;
Their acts of faithlessness are mighty.

⁷ “Why should I pardon you?
Your sons have forsaken Me
And ^(G)sworn by those who are ^(H)not gods.
I had satisfied them to the full,
Then they ^(I)committed adultery
And trooped to the harlot’s house.
