Jeremiah 5:2-4

New International Reader's Version

³ Lord, don’t your eyes look for truth?
    You struck down your people.
    But they didn’t feel any pain.
You crushed them.
    But they refused to be corrected.
They made their faces harder than stone.
    They refused to turn away from their sins.
⁴ I thought, “The people of
    Jerusalem are foolish.
They don’t know how the Lord wants them to live.
    They don’t know what their God requires of them.
