Jeremiah 5:7-9

The Voice

⁷ Eternal One (to His people): How can I forgive what you’ve done?
        You have passed on your legacy of rebellion to your children who also rejected Me.
    They have made unholy oaths in the names of so-called gods.
        Why? I have fed them till they were full, and still they wanted more.
    So they betrayed Me with their adultery,
        trooping off to worship idols, filling up the houses of prostitutes.
⁸     They have everything they need, and still they want more.
        Like lusty stallions, they call for each other’s mate.
⁹     Should I not punish them for these atrocities?
        Against this nation, should I not avenge Myself?
