Jeremiah 5:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

‘Jerusalem, I have to punish you.
    Your people have turned away from me.
    They have served gods that are not true gods.
I gave them everything that they needed.
    But they left me, like a wife who leaves her husband.
The men hurry to the houses of prostitutes.
⁸ They are like strong male horses.
    They cannot wait to have sex with another man's wife.’

‘I must punish them for what they have done.
I will pay back this wicked nation for their sins.’
