Jeremiah 5:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² Though they say, “As surely as the Lord lives,”
they are still swearing falsely.

³ Lord, don’t your eyes look for faithfulness?
You struck them,
but they felt no pain.
You crushed them,
but they refused discipline.
They made their faces harder than rock
and refused to repent.
⁴ Then I said:
    These are only the poor.
    They are foolish,
    because they do not know the way of the Lord
    and the just verdict of their God.
