The Depravity of Jerusalem

Roam(A) through the streets of Jerusalem.
Investigate;[a]

who pursues faithfulness,
then I will forgive her.(C)

they are swearing falsely.(E)

A Dialogue about Righteousness: The Lord Speaks

“Wander through the streets of Jerusalem.

Look and investigate;[a]
search through her squares
    and see whether you find anyone—

    still they are swearing falsely.”[c]
