The Sins of Judah - Jeremiah 5
5Â âRun up and down every street in Jerusalem,â says the Lord.
âLook high and low; search throughout the city!
If you can find even one just and honest person,
I will not destroy the city.
2Â
But even when they are under oath,
saying, âAs surely as the Lord lives,â
they are still telling lies!â
3Â
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.
4Â
Then I said, âBut what can we expect from the poor?
They are ignorant.
They donât know the ways of the Lord.
They donât understand Godâs laws.
5Â
So I will go and speak to their leaders.
Surely they know the ways of the Lord
and understand Godâs laws.â
But the leaders, too, as one man,
had thrown off Godâs yoke
and broken his chains.
6Â
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.
7Â
âHow 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.
8Â
They are well-fed, lusty stallions,
each neighing for his neighborâs wife.
9Â
Should I not punish them for this?â says the Lord.
âShould I not avenge myself against such a nation?
10Â
âGo down the rows of the vineyards and destroy the grapevines,
leaving a scattered few alive.
Strip the branches from the vines,
for these people do not belong to the Lord.
11Â
The people of Israel and Judah
are full of treachery against me,â
says the Lord.
12Â
âThey have lied about the Lord
and said, âHe wonât bother us!
No disasters will come upon us.
There will be no war or famine.
13Â
Godâs prophets are all windbags
who donât really speak for him.
Let their predictions of disaster fall on themselves!ââ
14Â Therefore, this is what the Lord God of Heavenâs Armies says:
âBecause the people are talking like this,
my messages will flame out of your mouth
and burn the people like kindling wood.
15Â
O Israel, I will bring a distant nation against you,â
says the Lord.
âIt is a mighty nation,
an ancient nation,
a people whose language you do not know,
whose speech you cannot understand.
16Â
Their weapons are deadly;
their warriors are mighty.
17Â
They will devour the food of your harvest;
they will devour your sons and daughters.
They will devour your flocks and herds;
they will devour your grapes and figs.
And they will destroy your fortified towns,
which you think are so safe.
18Â âYet even in those days I will not blot you out completely,â says the Lord. 19Â âAnd when your people ask, âWhy did the Lord our God do all this to us?â you must reply, âYou rejected him and gave yourselves to foreign gods in your own land. Now you will serve foreigners in a land that is not your own.â
A Warning for Godâs People
20Â
âMake this announcement to Israel,[a]
and say this to Judah:
21Â
Listen, you foolish and senseless people,
with eyes that do not see
and ears that do not hear.
22Â
Have you no respect for me?
Why donât you tremble in my presence?
I, the Lord, define the oceanâs sandy shoreline
as an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross.
The waves may toss and roar,
but they can never pass the boundaries I set.
23Â
But my people have stubborn and rebellious hearts.
They have turned away and abandoned me.
24Â
They do not say from the heart,
âLet us live in awe of the Lord our God,
for he gives us rain each spring and fall,
assuring us of a harvest when the time is right.â
25Â
Your wickedness has deprived you of these wonderful blessings.
Your sin has robbed you of all these good things.
26Â
âAmong my people are wicked men
who lie in wait for victims like a hunter hiding in a blind.
They continually set traps
to catch people.
27Â
Like a cage filled with birds,
their homes are filled with evil plots.
And now they are great and rich.
28Â
They are fat and sleek,
and there is no limit to their wicked deeds.
They refuse to provide justice to orphans
and deny the rights of the poor.
29Â
Should I not punish them for this?â says the Lord.
âShould I not avenge myself against such a nation?
30Â
A horrible and shocking thing
has happened in this landâ
31Â
the prophets give false prophecies,
and the priests rule with an iron hand.
Worse yet, my people like it that way!
But what will you do when the end comes?
