JER 5:1–5:13 ©

No One Is Just

No One Is Just

5“Go up and down the streets of Jerusalem. Look now and take note; search her squares. If you can find a single person, [anyone] who acts justly, [anyone] who seeks the truth, then I will forgive [the city].

2Although they say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives,’ they are swearing falsely

3O LORD, do not Your eyes [look] for truth? You struck them, but they felt no pain. You finished them off, but they refused to accept discipline. They have made their faces harder than stone and refused to repent.

4Then I said, “They are only the poor; they have played the fool, for they do not know the way of the LORD, the justice of their God.

5I will go to the powerful and speak to them. Surely they know the way of the LORD, the justice of their God.” But they too, with one accord, had broken the yoke and torn off the chains.

6Therefore a lion from the forest will strike them down, a wolf from the desert will ravage them. A leopard will lie in wait near their cities, [and] everyone who ventures out will be torn to pieces. For their rebellious acts are many, [and] their unfaithful deeds are numerous.

7“Why should I forgive you? Your children have forsaken Me and sworn by [gods] that are not gods. I satisfied their needs, yet they committed adultery and assembled at the houses of prostitutes.

8They are well-fed, lusty stallions, each neighing after his neighbor’s wife.

9Should I not punish them for these things?” declares the LORD. Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?

10Go up through her vineyards and ravage them, but do not finish them off Strip off her branches, for they do not belong to the LORD.

11For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have been utterly unfaithful to Me,” declares the LORD.

12They have lied about the LORD and said: “He will not do anything; harm will not come to us; we will not see sword or famine.

13The prophets are but wind, for the word [is] not in them. So let [their own predictions] befall them.[fn]


5:13 Literally let this befall them.
