Jeremiah 5:1-2
Modern English Version
The Justice of God’s Judgment
5 Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem,
see now and know;
seek in the open places
if you can find a man,
if there is any who executes justice, who seeks the truth,
that I may pardon her.
2 Though they say, “The Lord lives,”
surely they swear falsely.
Jeremiah 5:1-2
American Standard Version
5 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that doeth justly, that seeketh [a]truth; and I will pardon her. 2 And though they say, As Jehovah liveth; surely they swear falsely.
