Jeremiah 5:3-5
Complete Jewish Bible
Jeremiah 5:3-5
Complete Jewish Bible
3 Adonai, your eyes look for truth.
You struck them, but they weren’t affected;
you [nearly] destroyed them,
but they refused correction.
They made their faces harder than rock,
refusing to repent.
4 My reaction was, “These must be the poor,
the foolish, not knowing the way of Adonai
or the rulings of their God.
5 I will go to the prominent men,
and I will speak to them;
for they know the way of Adonai
and the rulings of their God.”
But these had completely broken the yoke
and torn the harness off.

New International Version
Jeremiah 5:3-5
New International Version
3 Lord, do not your eyes(A) look for truth?
You struck(B) them, but they felt no pain;
you crushed them, but they refused correction.(C)
They made their faces harder than stone(D)
and refused to repent.(E)
4 I thought, “These are only the poor;
they are foolish,(F)
for they do not know(G) the way of the Lord,
the requirements of their God.
5 So I will go to the leaders(H)
and speak to them;
surely they know the way of the Lord,
the requirements of their God.”
But with one accord they too had broken off the yoke
and torn off the bonds.(I)
