New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Jeremiah 5:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 They say, “As the Lord lives,”
but in fact they swear falsely.
3 Lord, do your eyes not search for honesty?
You struck them, but they did not flinch;
you laid them low, but they refused correction;
They set their faces harder than stone,
and refused to return.(A)
4 I thought: These are only the lowly,
they behave foolishly;
For they do not know the way of the Lord,
the justice of their God.(B)
Jeremiah 5:2-4
New International Version
Jeremiah 5:2-4
New International Version
3 Lord, do not your eyes(C) look for truth?
You struck(D) them, but they felt no pain;
you crushed them, but they refused correction.(E)
They made their faces harder than stone(F)
and refused to repent.(G)
4 I thought, “These are only the poor;
they are foolish,(H)
for they do not know(I) the way of the Lord,
the requirements of their God.

New King James Version
Jeremiah 5:2-4
New King James Version
3 O Lord, are not (D)Your eyes on the truth?
You have (E)stricken them,
But they have not grieved;
You have consumed them,
But (F)they have refused to receive correction.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to return.
4 Therefore I said, “Surely these are poor.
They are foolish;
For (G)they do not know the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.
