Jeremiah 5:2
| ← Jeremiah 5:1 | Jeremiah 5:2 (KJV) | Jeremiah 5:3 → |
|---|---|---|
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.
|
And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.
|
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.
