RF JER 5:1 The Vain Order to Search for an Honest Man.
"Go about the streets of Jerusalem, and search, and examine, and seek in her squares, if you can find a man, if there is one who administers justice, seeks truth, and I will forgive her!—
RF JER 5:2 Although they swear by the life of the EVER-LIVING, they swear to deceive!
RF JER 5:3 The Prophet's Report.
LORD, are not Your eyes upon truth? You caused them to be punished, but their minds were not afflicted! They refused to accept correction. Their faces are harder than a rock. They refuse to alter!
RF JER 5:4 Then I thought, These are the low,—they are ignorant,—they cannot know the way of the EVER-LIVING,— the decrees of their GOD.
RF JER 5:5 I will go to the great, and speak with them. However, they had simultaneously broken the yoke,—had refused the traces!
RF JER 5:6 The Lord's Answer.
"Therefore a lion from the forest shall wound them! An evening wolf shall ravage them! A panther lie in wait against their villages; he will tear all who come out, for they multiply their sins, they are strong for their transgressions."
RF JER 5:7 Can I pardon you for this? Your children forsake Me, and are satisfied with Sham gods, so I will satisfy them! And they commit adultery,—and troop to the brothel.
RF JER 5:8 They are prancing fed horses, each neighs after his neighbour's wife!"
RF JER 5:9 Shall I not punish for these practices?" the EVER-LIVING asks. "Even if among the heathen it were the same, would not My soul punish it?"
RF JER 5:10 Advance to her walls and destroy, and make no repairs! Throw down her battlements, for they are not the LORD'S.
RF JER 5:11 For the House of Israel has been falsely false to Me, with the House of Judah," says the EVER-LIVING."
RF JER 5:12 They were false 'to the EVER-LIVING, and said, He is nothing Trouble will not come upon us, and sword or famine will never arrive! '
RF JER 5:13 And the Preachers have no spirit and no message came to them,—they invent it for themselves!"
RF JER 5:14 Therefore," thus says the EVER-LIVING GOD of Hosts, "Because you speak such things, I will make the words of your mouth fire, and this people wood, and will consume them.
RF JER 5:15 I will bring upon you a nation from afar, House of Israel," says the EVER-LIVING. "It is a resolute nation from of old. It is a nation that knows not how to turn back, and will not listen to what you say.
RF JER 5:16 Their face is like an open grave. They are all heroes;
RF JER 5:17 and will devour your harvests, and your bread, and devour your sons and your daughters. And will eat your sheep, and your cattle. It will eat your vines and your figs. It will break your fortified cities, in which you trust, to pieces with the sword.
RF JER 5:18 And also in those days," says the EVER-LIVING, "I will not work for you at all,
RF JER 5:19 and under them they will come to ask, 'Why has our EVER-LIVING GOD done all this to us?' When you shall reply to them, 'Because you have abandoned Him and served foreign gods in your own country,—therefore you shall serve tyrants in a country not your own.'
RF JER 5:20 "Communicate this to the House of Jacob, and let it be reported to Judah, saying:—
RF JER 5:21 'Listen to this, you stupid People,—who have no eyes in your mind, in whom no ear is seen, so they cannot hear.
RF JER 5:22 'Could you not see My warning?" asks the EVER-LIVING, "if you had not reeled from My presence? Since I placed the sand as a bound to the sea, by an ancient decree, which it cannot transgress, but its foaming waves approach, and cannot pass beyond?
RF JER 5:23 But for this people, their mind is blind, rebellious, degenerate, and wandering.
RF JER 5:24 "Why do they not say to their heart, Let us look to our EVER-LIVING GOD Who gives rain, and sprinkles the latter rain in its season to accomplish the laws of harvest, and He will protect us?'
RF JER 5:25 "Their faults restrain them, and their sins hold back from them those benefits.
RF JER 5:26 For the wicked are found in My People; they spread nets, they lay traps, they catch men!
RF JER 5:27 As a cage is full of birds, so their houses are full of treachery by which they become rich!
RF JER 5:28 They are fat, enriched, they deal in false evidence, they regard no right,—the right of the widow, of the orphan,—and they administer not protection and justice to the poor.
RF JER 5:29 Shall I not punish for these things?" says the EVER-LIVING. "Even if heathen did them, would not My soul avenge them?
RF JER 5:30 "There is a shameful and horrible thing in the country!
RF JER 5:31 The Preachers preach falsehood, and the Priests trick with their hands,—and My People love to have it so,—and what can be done viler than that?"
