Jeremiah 5

1 Rove about in [the] streets of Jerusalem and see please and observe and search in open places its if you will find a person if there [is one who] does justice [one who] seeks faithfulness so I may forgive it.

2 And though [by] [the] life of Yahweh people say therefore to falsehood they are swearing oaths.

3 O Yahweh [are] eyes your ¿ not to faithfulness you struck them and not they writhed you brought to an end them they refused to accept correction they made strong faces their more than rock they refused to return.

4 And I I said only [are] poor [people] they they have acted foolishly for not they know [the] way of Yahweh [the] ordinance of God their.

5 I will go for myself to the great and I will speak them for they they know [the] way of Yahweh [the] ordinance of God their nevertheless they alike they had broken off a yoke they had torn off fetters.

6 There-fore it will attack them a lion from a forest a wolf of desert plains it will devastate them a leopard [will be] watching over cities their every [one who] goes out from them he will be torn in pieces for they are many transgressions their they are numerous (apostasies their. *Qk)

7 Where? for this (will I forgive *Qk) you children your they have forsaken me and they have sworn by not gods and I satisfied them and they committed adultery and [the] house of a prostitute they cut themselves.

8 Horses well fed lustful they are everyone to [the] wife of neighbor his they neigh.

9 ¿ On these [things] not will I punish [the] utterance of Yahweh and or? on a nation which [is] like this [one] not will it avenge itself self my.

10 Go up among vine rows its and destroy [them] and complete destruction may not you make remove vine tendrils its for not [belong] to Yahweh they.

11 For certainly they have dealt treacherously with me [the] house of Israel and [the] house of Judah [the] utterance of Yahweh.

12 They have denied Yahweh and they have said not he and not it will come on us harm and sword and famine not we will see.

13 And the prophets they will become wind and the word not [is] in them thus let it be done to them.

14 Therefore thus he says Yahweh [the] God of hosts because have spoken you the word this here I [am] about to make words my in mouth your into a fire and the people this wood and it will consume them.

15 Here I [am] about to bring on you a nation from a distance O house of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh [is] a nation - enduring it [is] a nation from long ago it a nation [which] not you know language its and not you hear what? does it say.

16 Quiver its [is] like a grave open all of them [are] warriors.

17 And it will devour harvest your and food your they will devour sons your and daughters your it will devour flock[s] your and herd[s] your it will devour vine[s] your and fig tree[s] your it will shatter [the] cities of fortifications your which you [are] trusting in them with the sword.

18 And also in the days those [the] utterance of Yahweh not I will make with you complete destruction.

19 And it will be that you will say for what? did he do Yahweh God our to us all these [things] and you will say to them just as you forsook me and you served gods of foreignness in own land your so you will serve strangers in a land [which] not [belongs] to you.

20 Declare this in [the] house of Jacob and proclaim it in Judah saying.

21 Hear please this O people fool and there not [is] a heart eyes [belong] to them and not they see ears [belong] to them and not they hear.

22 ¿ Me not do you fear [the] utterance of Yahweh or? from before me not do you tremble who I appointed [the] sand a boundary for the sea a decree of perpetuity and not it will pass over it and they shook back and forth and not they will prevail and they roar waves its and not they will pass over it.

23 And to the people this it belongs a heart stubborn and rebellious they have turned aside and they have gone away.

24 And not they said in heart their let us fear please Yahweh God our who gives rain (autumn rain *QK) and spring rain at appropriate time its [the] weeks of [the] appointments of harvest he keeps for us.

25 Iniquities your they have turned aside these [things] and sins your they have withheld good from you.

26 For they are found among people my wicked [people] he watches as bend fowlers they set a destroyer people they catch.

27 Like a cage full bird[s] so houses their [are] full deceit there-fore they have become great and they have gained riches.

28 They have become fat they have become smooth also they have transgressed matters of evil a cause not they have pleaded [the] cause of [the] fatherless so they may have success and [the] justice of needy [people] not they have judged.

29 ¿ On these [things] not will I punish [the] utterance of Yahweh or? on a nation which [is] like this [one] not will it avenge itself self my.

30 An atrocious event and a horrible [thing] it has occurred in the land.

31 The prophets they have prophesied with falsehood and the priests they are ruling on hands their and people my they have loved thus and what? will you do to end its.
