Jeremiah 5:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ How can I pardon you?
    Your children have forsaken me
        and swear by gods that are not gods.
Although I could have satisfied them,
    they committed adultery,
        dashing off to the prostitution house.
⁸ They are lusty stallions roving about,
    snorting for another’s wife.
⁹ The Lord declares:
    Shouldn’t I confront these acts?
    Shouldn’t I take revenge on such a nation?
