Jeremiah 5:2-4

Modern English Version

³ O Lord, are not Your eyes upon the truth?
    You have stricken them, but they have not grieved.
    You have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction.
They have made their faces harder than a rock;
    they have refused to return.
⁴ Therefore I said, “Surely these are the poor.
    They are foolish;
for they know not the way of the Lord
    or the judgment of their God.
