Jeremiah 5:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ The Lord said, “Tell me why I should forgive you.
    Your children have left me.
    They have made promises to idols that are not gods at all.
I gave your children everything they needed.
    But they still were like an unfaithful wife to me.
    They spent much time in houses of prostitutes.
⁸ They are like well-fed, male horses filled with sexual desire.
    Each one wants another man’s wife.
⁹ Shouldn’t I punish the people of Judah for doing these things?” says the Lord.
    “I should give a nation such as this the punishment it deserves.
