Jeremiah 5:1-3
New Living Translation

The Sins of Judah

5 “Run up and down every street in Jerusalem,” says the Lord.
    “Look high and low; search throughout the city!
If you can find even one just and honest person,
    I will not destroy the city.
2 But even when they are under oath,
    saying, ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’
    they are still telling lies!”

3 Lord, you are searching for honesty.
You struck your people,
    but they paid no attention.
You crushed them,
    but they refused to be corrected.
They are determined, with faces set like stone;
    they have refused to repent.

Jeremiah 5:1-3
New International Version

Not One Is Upright

5 “Go up and down(A) the streets of Jerusalem,
    look around and consider,(B)
    search through her squares.
If you can find but one person(C)
    who deals honestly(D) and seeks the truth,
    I will forgive(E) this city.
2 Although they say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’(F)
    still they are swearing falsely.(G)”

3 Lord, do not your eyes(H) look for truth?
    You struck(I) them, but they felt no pain;
    you crushed them, but they refused correction.(J)
They made their faces harder than stone(K)
    and refused to repent.(L)
