Jeremiah 5:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
5 1 In Judah no righteous man is found, neither among the people nor the rulers. 15 Wherefore Judah is destroyed of the Chaldeans.
1 Run to and fro by the streets of Jerusalem, and behold now, and know, and inquire in the open places thereof, if ye can find a man, or if there be any that executeth judgment, and seeketh the truth, and I will spare [a]it.
2 For though they say, The [b]Lord liveth, yet do they swear falsely.
3 O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the [c]truth? thou hast [d]stricken them, but they have not sorrowed: thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a stone, and have refused to return.
