Jeremiah 5:5-7

New International Version - UK

⁵ So I will go to the leaders
    and speak to them;
surely they know the way of the Lord,
    the requirements of their God.’
But with one accord they too had broken off the yoke
    and torn off the bonds.
⁶ Therefore a lion from the forest will attack them,
    a wolf from the desert will ravage them,
a leopard will lie in wait near their towns
    to tear to pieces any who venture out,
for their rebellion is great
    and their backslidings many.
