Jeremiah 5:7-9
New Living Translation
7 “How can I pardon you?
For even your children have turned from me.
They have sworn by gods that are not gods at all!
I fed my people until they were full.
But they thanked me by committing adultery
and lining up at the brothels.
8 They are well-fed, lusty stallions,
each neighing for his neighbor’s wife.
9 Should I not punish them for this?” says the Lord.
“Should I not avenge myself against such a nation?
Jeremiah 5:7-9

(D)they committed adultery
(E)and trooped to the houses of whores.
8 They were well-fed, lusty stallions,
(F)each neighing (G)for his neighbor's wife.
9 (H)Shall I not punish them for these things?
declares the Lord;
and shall I not avenge myself
on a nation such as this?
