Jeremiah 5:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 How can I pardon you?
Your children have forsaken me
and have sworn by those who are no gods.
When I fed them to the full,
they committed adultery
and trooped to the houses of prostitutes.(A)
8 They were well-fed lusty stallions,
each neighing for his neighbor’s wife.(B)
9 Shall I not punish them for these things?
says the Lord,
and shall I not bring retribution
on a nation such as this?(C)
Jeremiah 5:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 “How[a] can I forgive you?
Your children have forsaken me,
and they have sworn by those who are not gods.
But I fed them to the full,
and they committed adultery,
and flocked to the house of a prostitute.
8 They were well-fed lusty horses,
they neighed each to the wife of his neighbor.
9 Because of these things shall I not punish?” declares[b] Yahweh,
“and on a nation who is like this, shall I not take revenge?
