Jeremiah 5:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶     That is why a lion from the forest will strike them.
    A wolf from the desert will attack them,
    and a leopard is watching their cities.
    Everyone who comes out of them will be torn to pieces
    because their rebellions are so many,
    and their unfaithfulness is so great.

⁷ Why should I forgive you?
Your children have abandoned me
and sworn by gods that are not gods.
I satisfied their needs,
yet they committed adultery
and crowded into prostitutes’ houses.
⁸ They are well-fed, lusty^[a] stallions,
each one neighing for his neighbor’s wife.
