Jeremiah 5:24 (KJV) King James Version

1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

2 And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.

3 O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.

5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.

7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.

8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.

9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

10 Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’S.

11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.

12 They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:

13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.

14 Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.

16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.

17 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.

18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.

19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.

20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,

21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:

22 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.

24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.

26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.

28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.

29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;

31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

1 Run ye to and fro ^H7751 through the streets ^H2351 of Jerusalem ^H3389 , and see ^H7200 now ^H4994 ^IJEC , and know ^H3045 , and seek ^H1245 in the broad places ^H7339 thereof , if ^H518 ^PART ye can find ^H4672 a man ^H376 ^NMS , if ^H518 ^PART there be ^H3426 ^PART any that executeth ^H6213 ^VQPMS judgment ^H4941 ^NMS , that seeketh ^H1245 the truth ^H530 ; and I will pardon ^H5545 it .

2 And though ^H518 ^W-PART they say ^H559 , The LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS liveth ^H2416 ^AMS ; surely ^H3651 ^L-ADV they swear ^H7650 falsely ^H8267 .

3 O LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS , are not ^H3808 ^D-NPAR thine eyes ^H5869 ^CMD-2MS upon the truth ^H530 ? thou hast stricken ^H5221 them , but they have not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR grieved ^H2342 ; thou hast consumed ^H3615 them , but they have refused ^H3985 to receive ^H3947 correction ^H4148 : they have made their faces ^H6440 harder ^H2388 than a rock ^H5553 ; they have refused ^H3985 to return ^H7725 .

4 Therefore I ^H589 ^W-PPRO-1MS said ^H559 ^VQQ1MS , Surely ^H389 ^ADV these ^H1992 ^PPRO-3MP are poor ^H1800 ^JMP ; they are foolish ^H2973 : for ^H3588 ^CONJ they know ^H3045 ^VQQ3MP not ^H3808 ^NADV the way ^H1870 ^NMS of the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS , nor the judgment ^H4941 ^CMS of their God ^H430 .

5 I will get ^H1980 me unto ^H413 ^PREP the great men ^H1419 ^D-AMP , and will speak unto ^H1696 ^W-VPI1MS them ; for ^H3588 ^CONJ they ^H1992 ^PPRO-3MP have known ^H3045 ^VQQ3MP the way ^H1870 ^NMS of the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS , and the judgment ^H4941 ^CMS of their God ^H430 : but ^H389 ^ADV these ^H1992 ^PPRO-3MP have altogether ^H3162 ^ADV-3MS broken ^H7665 the yoke ^H5923 , and burst ^H5423 ^VNQ3MP the bonds ^H4147 .

6 Wherefore ^H5921 ^PREP a lion ^H738 ^NMS out of the forest ^H3293 shall slay ^H5221 them , and a wolf ^H2061 of the evenings ^H6160 shall spoil ^H7703 them , a leopard ^H5246 shall watch ^H8245 over ^H5921 ^PREP their cities ^H5892 : every one ^H3605 ^NMS that goeth out ^H3318 thence ^H2007 shall be torn in pieces ^H2963 : because ^H3588 ^CONJ their transgressions ^H6588 are many ^H7231 , and their backslidings ^H4878 are increased ^H6105 .

7 How ^H335 ^IPRO shall I pardon ^H5545 thee for this ^H2063 ? thy children ^H1121 have forsaken ^H5800 me , and sworn ^H7650 by them that are no ^H3808 ^B-NPAR gods ^H430 ^EDP : when I had fed them to the full ^H7646 , they then committed adultery ^H5003 , and assembled themselves ^H1413 by troops in the harlots ^H2181 houses ^H1004 ^W-NMS .

8 They were ^H1961 ^VQQ3MP as fed ^H2109 horses ^H5483 in the morning ^H7904 : every one ^H376 ^NMS neighed ^H6670 after ^H413 ^PREP his neighbor ^H7453 ^NMS-3MS \'s wife ^H802 ^CFS .

9 Shall I not ^H3808 ^ADV visit ^H6485 for ^H5921 these ^H428 ^PMP things ? saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS : and ^H518 ^W-PART shall not ^H3808 ^NADV my soul ^H5315 ^CFS-1MS be avenged ^H5358 on such ^H834 ^RPRO a nation ^H1471 as this ^H2088 ?

10 Go ye up ^H5927 upon her walls ^H8284 , and destroy ^H7843 ; but make ^H6213 not ^H408 ^ADV a full end ^H3617 : take away ^H5493 her battlements ^H5189 ; for ^H3588 ^CONJ they ^H1992 are not ^H3808 the LORD ^H3068 ^L-EDS \'s .

11 For ^H3588 ^CONJ the house ^H1004 ^W-NMS of Israel ^H3478 and the house ^H1004 ^W-NMS of Judah ^H3063 have dealt very treacherously ^H898 ^VQQ3MP against me , saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS .

12 They have belied ^H3584 the LORD ^H3068 , and said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MP , It is not ^H3808 ^NADV he ^H1931 ^PPRO-3MS ; neither ^H3808 ^W-NADV shall evil ^H7451 ^AFS come ^H935 ^VQY3FS upon ^H5921 ^PREP-1MP us ; neither ^H3808 ^ADV shall we see ^H7200 sword ^H2719 nor famine ^H7458 :

13 And the prophets ^H5030 shall become ^H1961 wind ^H7307 ^L-CMS , and the word ^H1699 is not ^H369 ^NPAR in them : thus ^H3541 shall it be done ^H6213 unto them .

14 Wherefore ^H3651 ^L-ADV thus ^H3541 saith ^H559 ^VQQ3MS the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS God ^H430 ^CDP of hosts ^H6635 , Because ^H3282 ^ADV ye speak ^H1696 this ^H2088 ^D-PMS word ^H1697 ^D-NMS , behold ^H2009 , I will make ^H5414 ^VQPMS my words ^H1697 ^CMP-1MS in thy mouth ^H6310 fire ^H784 , and this ^H2088 ^D-PMS people ^H5971 wood ^H6086 , and it shall devour ^H398 them .

15 Lo ^H2009 , I will bring ^H935 ^VHPMS a nation ^H1471 ^NMS upon ^H5921 ^PREP-2MP you from far ^H4801 , O house ^H1004 ^CMS of Israel ^H3478 , saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS : it ^H1931 ^PPRO-3MS is a mighty ^H386 nation ^H1471 ^NMS , it ^H1931 ^PPRO-3MS is an ancient ^H5769 ^M-NMS nation ^H1471 ^NMS , a nation ^H1471 ^NMS whose language ^H3956 thou knowest ^H3045 ^VQY2MS not ^H3808 ^NADV , neither ^H3808 ^W-NADV understandest ^H8085 what ^H4100 ^IPRO they say ^H1696 .

16 Their quiver ^H827 is as an open ^H6605 sepulcher ^H6913 , they are all ^H3605 ^CMS-3MP mighty men ^H1368 .

17 And they shall eat up ^H398 ^W-VQQ3MS thine harvest ^H7105 , and thy bread ^H3899 , which thy sons ^H1121 ^CMP-2MS and thy daughters ^H1323 ^W-CFP-2MS should eat ^H398 : they shall eat up ^H398 ^VQY3MS thy flocks ^H6629 and thine herds ^H1241 : they shall eat up ^H398 ^VQY3MS thy vines ^H1612 and thy fig trees ^H8384 : they shall impoverish ^H7567 thy fenced ^H4013 cities ^H5892 , wherein ^H834 ^RPRO thou ^H859 ^PPRO-2MS trustedst ^H982 , with the sword ^H2719 .

18 Nevertheless ^H1571 ^W-CONJ in those ^H1992 days ^H3117 ^BD-NMP , saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS , I will not ^H3808 ^ADV make ^H6213 a full end ^H3617 with ^H854 ^PART-2MP you .

19 And it shall come to pass ^H1961 ^W-VQQ3MS , when ^H3588 ^CONJ ye shall say ^H559 ^VQY2MP , Wherefore ^H8478 ^NMS doeth ^H6213 ^VQQ3MS the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS our God ^H430 all ^H3605 ^NMS these ^H428 ^PMP things unto us ? then shalt thou answer ^H559 them , Like ^H834 ^K-RPRO as ye have forsaken ^H5800 me , and served ^H5647 strange ^H5236 gods ^H430 ^CDP in your land ^H776 , so ^H3651 ^ADV shall ye serve ^H5647 strangers ^H2114 in a land ^H776 ^B-GFS that is not ^H3808 ^NADV yours .

20 Declare ^H5046 this ^H2063 ^DPRO in the house ^H1004 ^B-CMS of Jacob ^H3290 , and publish ^H8085 it in Judah ^H3063 , saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC ,

21 Hear ^H8085 ^VQI2MP now ^H4994 ^IJEC this ^H2063 ^DPRO , O foolish ^H5530 people ^H5971 ^NMS , and without ^H369 ^W-NPAR understanding ^H3820 ^NMS ; which have eyes ^H5869 ^NMD , and see ^H7200 ^VQY3MP not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR ; which have ears ^H241 , and hear ^H8085 not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR :

22 Fear ^H3372 ye not ^H3808 ^NADV me ? saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS : will ye not ^H3808 ^NADV tremble ^H2342 at my presence ^H6440 ^M-CMP-1MS , which ^H834 ^RPRO have placed ^H7760 ^VQQ1MS the sand ^H2344 for the bound ^H1366 ^CMS of the sea ^H3220 by a perpetual ^H5769 ^NMS decree ^H2706 , that it cannot ^H3808 ^W-NADV pass ^H5674 it : and though the waves ^H1530 thereof toss themselves ^H1607 , yet can they not ^H3808 ^W-NADV prevail ^H3201 ; though they roar ^H1993 , yet can they not ^H3808 ^W-NADV pass over ^H5674 it ?

23 But this ^H2088 ^D-PMS people ^H5971 hath ^H1961 ^VQQ3MS a revolting ^H5637 and a rebellious ^H4784 heart ^H3820 ^NMS ; they are revolted ^H5493 ^VQQ3MP and gone ^H1980 ^W-VQY3MP .

24 Neither ^H3808 ^W-NPAR say ^H559 ^VQQ3MP they in their heart ^H3824 , Let us now ^H4994 ^IJEC fear ^H3372 the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS our God ^H430 , that giveth ^H5414 ^D-VQPMS rain ^H1653 , both the former ^H3138 and the latter ^H4456 , in his season ^H6256 ^B-CFS-3MS : he reserveth ^H8104 unto us the appointed ^H2708 ^CFP weeks ^H7620 of the harvest ^H7105 ^NMS .

25 Your iniquities ^H5771 have turned away ^H5186 ^VHQ3MP these ^H428 ^PMP things , and your sins ^H2403 have withheld ^H4513 good ^H2896 ^D-NMS things from ^H4480 ^PREP-2MP you .

26 For ^H3588 ^CONJ among my people ^H5971 are found ^H4672 wicked ^H7563 ^AMP men : they lay wait ^H7789 , as he that setteth ^H7918 snares ^H3353 ; they set ^H5324 a trap ^H4889 , they catch ^H3920 men ^H376 .

27 As a cage ^H3619 is full ^H4392 of birds ^H5775 ^NMS , so ^H3651 ^ADV are their houses ^H1004 ^CMP-3MP full ^H4392 of deceit ^H4820 ^NFS : therefore ^H3651 ^ADV they are become great ^H1431 , and waxen rich ^H6238 .

28 They are waxen fat ^H8080 , they shine ^H6245 : yea ^H1571 ^CONJ , they overpass ^H5674 the deeds ^H1697 of the wicked ^H7451 ^AMS : they judge ^H1777 not ^H3808 ^NADV the cause ^H1779 ^NMS , the cause ^H1779 ^NMS of the fatherless ^H3490 ^NMS , yet they prosper ^H6743 ; and the right ^H4941 ^W-CMS of the needy ^H34 ^NMP do they not ^H3808 ^NADV judge ^H8199 .

29 Shall I not ^H3808 ^ADV visit ^H6485 for ^H5921 these ^H428 ^PMP things ? saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS : shall not ^H3808 ^NADV my soul ^H5315 ^CFS-1MS be avenged ^H5358 on such ^H834 ^RPRO a nation ^H1471 as this ^H2088 ?

30 A wonderful ^H8047 and horrible thing ^H8186 is committed ^H1961 in the land ^H776 ^B-GFS ;

31 The prophets ^H5030 prophesy ^H5012 falsely ^H8267 , and the priests ^H3548 bear rule ^H7287 by ^H5921 ^PREP their means ^H3027 ^CFD-3MP ; and my people ^H5971 love ^H157 to have it so ^H3651 ^ADV : and what ^H4100 will ye do ^H6213 in the end ^H319 thereof ?
