Jeremiah 5:5-7
English Standard Version
5 I will go to the great
and will speak to them,
for they know the way of the Lord,
the justice of their God.”
(A)But they all alike had broken the yoke;
they had burst the bonds.
6 Therefore (B)a lion from the forest shall strike them down;
a (C)wolf from the desert shall devastate them.
(D)A leopard is watching their cities;
everyone who goes out of them shall be torn in pieces,
because their transgressions are many,
their (E)apostasies are great.
7 (F)“How can I pardon you?
Your children have forsaken me
(G)and have sworn by those who are no gods.
(H)When I fed them to the full,
(I)they committed adultery
(J)and trooped to the houses of whores.
