Jeremiah 5:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And though they say: The Lord liveth; this also they will swear falsely.

³ O Lord, thy eyes are upon truth: thou hast struck them, and they have not grieved: thou hast bruised them, and they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than the rock, and they have refused to return.

⁴ But I said: Perhaps these are poor and foolish, that know not the way of the Lord, the judgement of their God.
