Jeremiah 5:5-7
New Living Translation
5 So I will go and speak to their leaders.
Surely they know the ways of the Lord
and understand God’s laws.”
But the leaders, too, as one man,
had thrown off God’s yoke
and broken his chains.
6 So now a lion from the forest will attack them;
a wolf from the desert will pounce on them.
A leopard will lurk near their towns,
tearing apart any who dare to venture out.
For their rebellion is great,
and their sins are many.
7 “How can I pardon you?
For even your children have turned from me.
They have sworn by gods that are not gods at all!
I fed my people until they were full.
But they thanked me by committing adultery
and lining up at the brothels.
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)
