Jeremiah 5:7-9
Amplified Bible
7
“Why should I [overlook these offenses and] forgive you?
Your children have abandoned (rejected) Me
And sworn [their oaths] by those who are not gods.
When I had fed them until they were full [and bound them to Me by a promise],
They committed [spiritual] adultery,
Assembling in troops at the houses of prostitutes (idols).
8
“They were like well-fed, lusty stallions,
Each one neighing after his neighbor’s wife.
9
“Shall I not punish them [for these things]?” says the Lord;
“Shall I not avenge Myself
On a nation such as this?”
Jeremiah 5:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 “Why should I forgive you?
Your sons have forsaken Me
And (A)sworn by those who are (B)not gods.
When I had fed them to the full,
They (C)committed adultery
And stayed at the prostitute’s house.
8 They were well-fed lusty horses,
Each one neighing at his (D)neighbor’s wife.
9 Shall I not punish them for these things?” declares the Lord,
“And (E)shall I not avenge Myself
On a nation such as this?
