Jeremiah 5:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
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.(A)
11 For they have openly rebelled against me,
both the house of Israel and the house of Judah—
oracle of the Lord.(B)
