Jeremiah 5:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ Why shouldn't I punish
    the people of Judah?
¹⁰ I will tell their enemies,
    “Go through my vineyard.
Don't destroy the vines,
    but cut off the branches,
because they are the people
    who don't belong to me.”

¹¹ In every way, Judah and Israel
    have been unfaithful to me.
