The Depravity of Jerusalem

Roam(A) through the streets of Jerusalem.
Investigate;[a]

If you find one person,(B)
any who acts justly,
who pursues faithfulness,
then I will forgive her.(C)
When they say, “As the Lord lives,”(D)
they are swearing falsely.(E)

Jerusalem’s Godlessness

(A)Roam about through the streets of Jerusalem,
And look and take notice.
And seek in her public squares,
If you can (B)find a person,
(C)If there is one who does justice, who seeks honesty,
Then I will forgive [a]her.
And (D)although they say, ‘As the Lord lives,’
Certainly they swear falsely.”
