Jeremiah 5:1-3
Modern English Version

The Justice of God’s Judgment

5 Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem,
    see now and know;
    seek in the open places
if you can find a man,
    if there is any who executes justice, who seeks the truth,
    that I may pardon her.
2 Though they say, “The Lord lives,”
    surely they swear falsely.

3 O Lord, are not Your eyes upon the truth?
    You have stricken them, but they have not grieved.
    You have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction.
They have made their faces harder than a rock;
    they have refused to return.

Jeremiah 5:1-3
New International Version

Not One Is Upright

5 “Go up and down(A) the streets of Jerusalem,
    look around and consider,(B)
    search through her squares.
If you can find but one person(C)
    who deals honestly(D) and seeks the truth,
    I will forgive(E) this city.
2 Although they say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’(F)
    still they are swearing falsely.(G)”

3 Lord, do not your eyes(H) look for truth?
    You struck(I) them, but they felt no pain;
    you crushed them, but they refused correction.(J)
They made their faces harder than stone(K)
    and refused to repent.(L)
