Jeremiah 8:5-6
New King James Version
5 Why has this people (A)slidden back,
Jerusalem, in a perpetual backsliding?
(B)They hold fast to deceit,
(C)They refuse to return.
6 (D)I listened and heard,
But they do not speak aright.
(E)No man repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turned to his own course,
As the horse rushes into the battle.
Jeremiah 8:5-6
New International Version
5 Why then have these people turned away?
Why does Jerusalem always turn away?
They cling to deceit;(A)
they refuse to return.(B)
6 I have listened(C) attentively,
but they do not say what is right.
None of them repent(D) of their wickedness,
saying, “What have I done?”
Each pursues their own course(E)
like a horse charging into battle.
