Jeremiah 5:5-7
Legacy Standard Bible
5 Let me go to the great
And let me speak to them,
For (A)they know the way of Yahweh
And the legal judgment of their God.”
But they too, altogether, have (B)broken the yoke
And torn apart the bonds.
6 Therefore (C)a lion from the forest will strike them down;
A (D)wolf of the deserts will devastate them;
A (E)leopard is watching their cities.
Everyone who goes out of them will be torn in pieces
Because their (F)transgressions are many;
Their acts of faithlessness are mighty.
7 “Why should I pardon you?
Your sons have forsaken Me
And (G)sworn by those who are (H)not gods.
I had satisfied them to the full,
Then they (I)committed adultery
And trooped to the harlot’s house.
Jeremiah 5:5-7
New International Version
5 So I will go to the leaders(A)
and speak to them;
surely they know the way of the Lord,
the requirements of their God.”
But with one accord they too had broken off the yoke
and torn off the bonds.(B)
6 Therefore a lion from the forest(C) will attack them,
a wolf from the desert will ravage(D) them,
a leopard(E) will lie in wait near their towns
to tear to pieces any who venture out,
for their rebellion is great
and their backslidings many.(F)
