Jeremiah 5:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ Shouldn't I punish them for these things
    and take revenge on a nation such as this?
¹⁰ I will send enemies to cut down my people's vineyards,
    but not to destroy them completely.
I will tell them to strip away the branches,
    because those branches are not mine.
¹¹ The people of Israel and Judah
    have betrayed me completely.
I, the Lord, have spoken.”
