Jeremiah 5:5-7
English Standard Version
Jeremiah 5:5-7
English Standard Version
5 I will go to the great
and will speak to them,
for they know the way of the Lord,
the justice of their God.”
(A)But they all alike had broken the yoke;
they had burst the bonds.
6 Therefore (B)a lion from the forest shall strike them down;
a (C)wolf from the desert shall devastate them.
(D)A leopard is watching their cities;
everyone who goes out of them shall be torn in pieces,
because their transgressions are many,
their (E)apostasies are great.
7 (F)“How can I pardon you?
Your children have forsaken me
(G)and have sworn by those who are no gods.
(H)When I fed them to the full,
(I)they committed adultery
(J)and trooped to the houses of whores.

Jeremiah 5:5-7
New International Version
5 So I will go to the leaders(A)
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.(B)
6 Therefore a lion from the forest(C) will attack them,
a wolf from the desert will ravage(D) them,
a leopard(E) will lie in wait near their towns
to tear to pieces any who venture out,
for their rebellion is great
and their backslidings many.(F)
