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.
Jeremiah 5:2-4
English Standard Version
2 (A)Though they say, “As the Lord lives,”
(B)yet they swear falsely.
3 O Lord, do not your eyes look for truth?
(C)You have struck them down,
but they felt no anguish;
you have consumed them,
but they refused to take correction.
(D)They have made their faces harder than rock;
they have refused to repent.
4 Then I said, “These are only the poor;
they have no sense;
(E)for they do not know the way of the Lord,
the justice of their God.
