Jeremiah 5:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

5 Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem,
    look around and take note!
Search its squares and see
    if you can find one person
who acts justly
    and seeks truth—
so that I may pardon Jerusalem.^[a]
2 Although they say, “As the Lord lives,”
    yet they swear falsely.
³ O Lord, do your eyes not look for truth?
You have struck them,
    but they felt no anguish;
you have consumed them,
    but they refused to take correction.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
    they have refused to turn back.
