Book of Jeremiah - Chapter 5

Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

JEREMIAH 5:1

And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.

JEREMIAH 5:2

O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

JEREMIAH 5:12

And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them thus shall it be done unto them.

JEREMIAH 5:13

Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

JEREMIAH 5:14

Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.

JEREMIAH 5:15

Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.

And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.

JEREMIAH 5:17

Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.

JEREMIAH 5:18

And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.

JEREMIAH 5:19

Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,

JEREMIAH 5:20

Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not

Fear ye not me? saith the LORD will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

JEREMIAH 5:22

But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.

JEREMIAH 5:23

Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

JEREMIAH 5:24

Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
