Complete Jewish Bible
Jeremiah 5:8-10
Complete Jewish Bible
8 They have become like well-fed horses,
lusty stallions, each one neighing
after his neighbor’s wife.
9 Should I not punish for this?” asks Adonai.
“Should I not be avenged on a nation like this?”
10 Go through her rows [of vines], and destroy them
(but don’t destroy them completely):
strip away her branches,
they do not belong to Adonai.

8 They rose up in the morning like fed horses: for every man (A)neighed after his neighbor’s wife.
9 Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord? shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10 [a]Climb up upon their walls, and destroy them, but make not a full end: [b]take away their battlements, for they are not the Lord’s.
