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
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?
