Jeremiah 5:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 They are lustful stallions,
each neighs after the other’s wife.(A)
9 Should I not punish them for this?—oracle of the Lord;
on a nation like this should I not take vengeance?
10 Climb her terraces, and ravage them,
destroy them completely.
Tear away her tendrils,
they do not belong to the Lord.(B)
