Jeremiah 5:5-7

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁵ “I will go to the great
And will speak to them,
For ^(A)they know the way of the Lord
And the ordinance of their God.”
But they too, with one accord, have ^(B)broken the yoke
And burst the bonds.
⁶ Therefore ^(C)a lion from the forest will slay them,
A ^(D)wolf of the deserts will destroy 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 apostasies are numerous.

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