Jeremiah 5:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 Lord, don’t Your eyes look for faithfulness?(A)
You have struck them, but they felt no pain.(B)
You finished them off,
but they refused to accept discipline.(C)
They made their faces harder than rock,(D)
and they refused to return.(E)
4 Then I thought:
They are just the poor;
they have played the fool.
For they don’t understand the way of the Lord,(F)
the justice of their God.(G)
5 I will go to the powerful
and speak to them.
Surely they know the way of the Lord,
the justice of their God.(H)
However, these also had broken the yoke
and torn off the chains.(I)

New International Version
Jeremiah 5:3-5
New International Version
3 Lord, do not your eyes(A) look for truth?
You struck(B) them, but they felt no pain;
you crushed them, but they refused correction.(C)
They made their faces harder than stone(D)
and refused to repent.(E)
4 I thought, “These are only the poor;
they are foolish,(F)
for they do not know(G) the way of the Lord,
the requirements of their God.
5 So I will go to the leaders(H)
and speak to them;
surely they know the way of the Lord,
the requirements of their God.”
But with one accord they too had broken off the yoke
and torn off the bonds.(I)
