Jeremiah 5:4-6

Christian Standard Bible

They are just the poor;
they have been foolish.
For they don’t understand the way of the Lord,^(A)
the justice of their God.^(B)
5 I will go to the powerful
and speak to them.
Surely they know the way of the Lord,
the justice of their God.^(C)
However, these also had broken the yoke
and torn off the chains.^(D)
6 Therefore, a lion from the forest will strike them down.^(E)
A wolf from arid plains will ravage them.
A leopard^(F) stalks their cities.
Anyone who leaves them will be torn to pieces
because their rebellious acts are many,^(G)
their unfaithful deeds numerous.^(H)
