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?
Jeremiah 5:7-9
New King James Version
7 “How shall I pardon you for this?
Your children have forsaken Me
And (A)sworn by those (B)that are not gods.
(C)When I had fed them to the full,
Then they committed adultery
And assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
8 (D)They were like well-fed lusty stallions;
Every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife.
9 Shall I not punish them for these things?” says the Lord.
“And shall I not (E)avenge Myself on such a nation as this?
