Jeremiah 5:1-2
Holman Christian Standard Bible

The Depravity of Jerusalem

5 Roam(A) through the streets of Jerusalem.
Look and take note;
search in her squares.
If you find one person,(B)
any who acts justly,
who seeks to be faithful,
then I will forgive her.(C)
2 When they say, “As the Lord lives,”(D)
they are swearing falsely.(E)

Jeremiah 5:1-2
Common English Bible

Futile search for a good person

5 Search every street in Jerusalem,
    comb the squares,
    look far and wide
        for one person,
        even one who acts justly
        and seeks truth that I may pardon her!
2 Even when making a pledge—“As the Lord lives”—
    they swear falsely.
