Jeremiah 5:7-9
Modern English Version
7 How shall I pardon you for this?
Your children have forsaken Me
and sworn by those who are not gods.
When I had fed them to the full,
then they committed adultery
and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
8 They were as fed horses in the morning;
everyone neighed after his neighbor’s wife.
9 Shall I not punish for these things? says the Lord,
and shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
