Jeremiah 5:7-9

New International Version - UK

⁷ ‘Why should I forgive you?
    Your children have forsaken me
    and sworn by gods that are not gods.
I supplied all their needs,
    yet they committed adultery
    and thronged to the houses of prostitutes.
⁸ They are well-fed, lusty stallions,
    each neighing for another man’s wife.
⁹ Should I not punish them for this?’
    declares the Lord.
‘Should I not avenge myself
    on such a nation as this?
