Jeremiah 5:24-26

New International Reader's Version

²⁴ You do not say to yourselves,
    “Let us have respect for the Lord our God.
He sends rain in the fall and the spring.
    He promises us that the harvest will come
    at the same time each year.”
²⁵ But the things you have done wrong
    have robbed you of these gifts.
Your sins have kept these good things
    far away from you.’
