Jeremiah 5:23-25
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
23 But this people’s heart is stubborn and rebellious;
they turn and go away,
24 And do not say in their hearts,
“Let us fear the Lord, our God,
Who gives us rain
early and late,[a] in its time;
Who watches for us
over the appointed weeks of harvest.”(A)
25 Your crimes have prevented these things,
your sins have turned these blessings away from you.(B)
Footnotes
- 5:24 Rain early and late: autumn and spring rains respectively. Appointed weeks of harvest: the seven weeks between the Passover (Dt 16:9–10) and the feast of Weeks (Pentecost), when it did not ordinarily rain.
