Jeremiah 5:2-4
Contemporary English Version
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.”
4 Then I thought to myself,
“These common people
act like fools,
and they have never learned
what the Lord their God
demands of them.
Jeremiah 5:2-4
New International Version
3 Lord, do not your eyes(C) look for truth?
You struck(D) them, but they felt no pain;
you crushed them, but they refused correction.(E)
They made their faces harder than stone(F)
and refused to repent.(G)
4 I thought, “These are only the poor;
they are foolish,(H)
for they do not know(I) the way of the Lord,
the requirements of their God.
