Jeremiah 5:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷How 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)
⁸They were well-fed lusty stallions,
    each neighing for his neighbor’s wife.^(B)
⁹Shall I not punish them for these things?
            says the Lord,
    and shall I not bring retribution
    on a nation such as this?^(C)
