Jeremiah 5:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ They were like well-fed stallions wild with desire,
    each lusting for his neighbor's wife.
⁹ Shouldn't I punish them for these things
    and take revenge on a nation such as this?
¹⁰ I will send enemies to cut down my people's vineyards,
    but not to destroy them completely.
I will tell them to strip away the branches,
    because those branches are not mine.
