Verse
Jeremiah - ch 5 v 21 - 31
- Hear ye, I pray you, this, O people, foolish and without heart, Eyes they have, and they see not, Ears they have, and they hear not.
- Me do ye not fear, an affirmation of Jehovah? From My presence are ye not pained? Who hath made sand the border of the sea, A limit age-during, and it passeth not over it, They shake themselves, and they are not able, Yea, sounded have its billows, and they pass not over.
- And this people hath an apostate and rebellious heart, They have turned aside, and they go on.
- And they have not said in their heart, `Let us fear, we pray you, Jehovah our God, who is giving rain, The sprinkling and the gathered, in its season, The appointed weeks of harvest He keepeth for us.'
- Your iniquities have turned these away, And your sins have kept the good from you.
- For the wicked have been found among My people. It looketh about the covering of snares, They have set up a trap -- men they capture.
- As a cage full of fowls, So their houses are full of deceit, Therefore they have been great, and are rich.
- They have been fat, they have shone, Yea, they have overpassed the acts of the evil, Judgment they have not judged, The judgment of the fatherless -- and they prosper, And the judgment of the needy they have not judged.
- For these do not I inspect, an affirmation of Jehovah, On a nation such as this, Doth not My soul avenge itself?
- An astonishing and horrible thing hath been in the land.
- The prophets have prophesied falsely, And the priests bear rule by their means, And My people have loved `it' so, And what do they at its latter end?
