Jeremiah 5:7-9
Modern English Version
7 How shall I pardon you for this?
Your children have forsaken Me
and sworn by those who are not gods.
When I had fed them to the full,
then they committed adultery
and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
8 They were as fed horses in the morning;
everyone neighed after his neighbor’s wife.
9 Shall I not punish for these things? says the Lord,
and shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Jeremiah 5:7-9
New International Version
7 “Why should I forgive you?
Your children have forsaken me
and sworn(A) by gods that are not gods.(B)
I supplied all their needs,
yet they committed adultery(C)
and thronged to the houses of prostitutes.(D)
8 They are well-fed, lusty stallions,
each neighing for another man’s wife.(E)
9 Should I not punish them for this?”(F)
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(G) myself
on such a nation as this?
