Jeremiah 5:1-2
Revised Standard Version
The Utter Corruption of God’s People
5 Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem,
look and take note!
Search her squares to see
if you can find a man,
one who does justice
and seeks truth;
that I may pardon her.
2 Though they say, “As the Lord lives,”
yet they swear falsely.
Jeremiah 5:1-2
American Standard Version
5 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that doeth justly, that seeketh [a]truth; and I will pardon her. 2 And though they say, As Jehovah liveth; surely they swear falsely.
