Jeremiah 5:7-9
Darby Translation
7 Wherefore should I pardon thee? Thy children have forsaken me, and swear by them that are not God. I have satiated them, and they have committed adultery, and they troop to the harlots' house.
8 [As] well fed horses, they roam about, every one neigheth after his neighbour's wife.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith Jehovah, and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

Your children have forsaken me
and sworn(A) by gods that are not gods.(B)

each neighing for another man’s wife.(E)
9 Should I not punish them for this?”(F)
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(G) myself
on such a nation as this?
