Jeremiah 5:7-9

Tree of Life Version

⁷ “Why therefore should I forgive you?
    Your children have forsaken Me
    and sworn by those who are not gods.
    Even though I fed them well,
        they committed adultery
        and thronged to the prostitute houses.
⁸ They are well-fed, lustful stallions,
        each neighing for his neighbor’s wife.
⁹ For such, should I not punish them?”
It is a declaration of Adonai.
        “On such a nation as this
        should I not avenge Myself?
