International Standard Version
Jeremiah 5:4-6
International Standard Version
4 Then I said, “These are only the poor,
they’re foolish,
for they don’t know the Lord’s way,
the requirement[a] of their God.
5 Let me go to the leaders[b] and speak to them.
For they know the Lord’s way,
the requirement[c] of their God.”
The Lord Answers
“But they, all together, have broken the yoke
and torn off the restraints.[d]
6 Therefore a lion from the forest will attack them,
a wolf from the desert will devastate them.
A leopard is watching their towns,
and everyone who goes out of them
will be torn to pieces.
For their transgressions are many,
and their apostasies numerous.
