Jeremiah 5:2-4
International Children’s Bible
2 The people say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives!’
But they don’t really mean it.”
3 Lord, don’t you look for truth in people?
You hit the people of Judah.
But they didn’t feel any pain.
You crushed them,
but they refused to learn what is right.
They became more stubborn than a rock.
They refused to turn back to God.
4 But I thought,
“These are only the poor, foolish people.
They have not learned the way of the Lord.
They do not know what their God wants them to do.
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.
