Jeremiah 5:3-5
Revised Standard Version
Jeremiah 5:3-5
Revised Standard Version
3 O Lord, do not thy eyes look for truth?
Thou hast smitten them,
but they felt no anguish;
thou hast consumed them,
but they refused to take correction.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
they have refused to repent.
4 Then I said, “These are only the poor,
they have no sense;
for they do not know the way of the Lord,
the law of their God.
5 I will go to the great,
and will speak to them;
for they know the way of the Lord,
the law of their God.”
But they all alike had broken the yoke,
they had burst the bonds.

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)
