Jeremiah 5:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
Jeremiah 5:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
5 I will go to the great men and speak to them.
Certainly they know the way of the Lord,
the just verdict of their God.
But all of them together have broken the yoke
and have torn off their chains.
6 That is why a lion from the forest will strike them.
A wolf from the desert will attack them,
and a leopard is watching their cities.
Everyone who comes out of them will be torn to pieces
because their rebellions are so many,
and their unfaithfulness is so great.
The Lord
7 Why should I forgive you?
Your children have abandoned me
and sworn by gods that are not gods.
I satisfied their needs,
yet they committed adultery
and crowded into prostitutes’ houses.

Jeremiah 5:5-7
New International Version
5 So I will go to the leaders(A)
and speak to them;
surely they know the way of the Lord,
the requirements of their God.”
But with one accord they too had broken off the yoke
and torn off the bonds.(B)
6 Therefore a lion from the forest(C) will attack them,
a wolf from the desert will ravage(D) them,
a leopard(E) will lie in wait near their towns
to tear to pieces any who venture out,
for their rebellion is great
and their backslidings many.(F)
