Jeremiah 5:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ O LORD, are not Your eyes upon the truth? You have stricken them, but they have not anguished. You have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a stone and have refused to return.

⁴ Therefore I said, “Surely they are poor, they are foolish. For they do not know the way of the LORD, the judgment of their God.

⁵ “I will go to the great men, and will speak to them. For they have known the way of the LORD, the judgment of their God.” But these have altogether broken the yoke and burst the bonds.
