Jeremiah 5:7-9
Legacy Standard Bible

7 “Why should I pardon you?
Your sons have forsaken Me
And (A)sworn by those who are (B)not gods.
I had satisfied them to the full,
Then they (C)committed adultery
And trooped to the harlot’s house.
8 They were well-fed lusty horses,
Each one neighing after his (D)neighbor’s wife.
9 Shall I not punish [a]these people,” declares Yahweh,
“And on a nation such as this
(E)Shall I not avenge Myself?
