Jeremiah 5:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷Why should I forgive you?
    Your sons have forsaken me,
and you have sworn by those
    who aren’t gods.
When I gave them enough food to satisfy them,
    they committed adultery
    and marched to the prostitute’s house.
⁸They were well-fed, lusty stallions,
    each one neighing after his neighbor’s wife.

⁹“Should I not punish them for these things?”
asks the Lord,
“And on a nation like this,
should I not seek retribution?”
