Jeremiah 5:1-3
Contemporary English Version

Is Anyone Honest and Faithful?

The Lord said to me:

5 “Search Jerusalem
for honest people
    who try to be faithful.
If you can find even one,
    I'll forgive the whole city.
2 Everyone breaks promises
    made in my name.”

3 I answered, “I know
    that you look for truth.
You punished your people
    for their lies,
but in spite of the pain,
    they became more stubborn
and refused to turn back
    to you.”

Jeremiah 5:1-3
New International Version

Not One Is Upright

5 “Go up and down(A) the streets of Jerusalem,
    look around and consider,(B)
    search through her squares.
If you can find but one person(C)
    who deals honestly(D) and seeks the truth,
    I will forgive(E) this city.
2 Although they say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’(F)
    still they are swearing falsely.(G)”

3 Lord, do not your eyes(H) look for truth?
    You struck(I) them, but they felt no pain;
    you crushed them, but they refused correction.(J)
They made their faces harder than stone(K)
    and refused to repent.(L)
