Jeremiah 5:1-3

International Children’s Bible

No One Is Right

5 The Lord says, “Walk up and down the streets of Jerusalem.
    Look around and think about these things.
    Search the public squares of the city.
See if you can find one person who does honest things.
    Find just one who searches for the truth.
    If you can, I will forgive this city.
²The people say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives!’
    But they don’t really mean it.”

³Lord, don’t you look for truth in people?
You hit the people of Judah.
    But they didn’t feel any pain.
You crushed them,
    but they refused to learn what is right.
They became more stubborn than a rock.
    They refused to turn back to God.
