Verse

Jeremiah - ch 5 v 21 - 31

  1. Hear now this, foolish people, and without understanding; who have eyes, and don't see; who have ears, and don't hear:
  2. Don't you fear me? says Yahweh: won't you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can't pass it? and though its waves toss themselves, yet they can't prevail; though they roar, yet they can't pass over it.
  3. But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
  4. Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear Yahweh our God, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season; who preserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
  5. Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you.
  6. For among my people are found wicked men: they watch, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men.
  7. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and grew rich.
  8. They are grew fat, they shine: yes, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they don't plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and the right of the needy they don't judge.
  9. Shall I not visit for these things? says Yahweh; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
  10. A wonderful and horrible thing is happen in the land:
  11. the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end of it?
