Jeremiah 5:7-9
Authorized (King James) Version
Jeremiah 5:7-9
Authorized (King James) Version
7 How shall I pardon thee for this?
thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods:
when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery,
and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
8 They were as fed horses in the morning:
every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord:
and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

New International Version
7 “Why should I forgive you?
Your children have forsaken me
and sworn(A) by gods that are not gods.(B)
I supplied all their needs,
yet they committed adultery(C)
and thronged to the houses of prostitutes.(D)
8 They are well-fed, lusty stallions,
each neighing for another man’s wife.(E)
9 Should I not punish them for this?”(F)
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(G) myself
on such a nation as this?
