Jerusalem Refused to Repent

1 ¹Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, look and take note! Search her squares to see ²if you can find a man, one who does justice and seeks truth, ³that I may pardon her.

2 ⁴Though they say, "As the LORD lives," ⁵yet they swear falsely.

3 O LORD, do not your eyes look for truth? ⁶You have struck them down, but they felt no anguish; you have consumed them, but they refused to take correction. ⁷They have made their faces harder than rock; they have refused to repent.

4 Then I said, "These are only the poor; they have no sense; ⁸for they do not know the way of the LORD, the justice of their God.

5 I will go to the great and will speak to them, for they know the way of the LORD, the justice of their God." ⁹But they all alike had broken the yoke; they had burst the bonds.

6 Therefore ¹⁰a lion from the forest shall strike them down; a ¹¹wolf from the desert shall devastate them. ¹²A leopard is watching their cities; everyone who goes out of them shall be torn in pieces, because their transgressions are many, their ¹³apostasies are great.

7 ¹⁴"How can I pardon you? Your children have forsaken me ¹⁵and have sworn by those who are no gods. ¹⁶When I fed them to the full, ¹⁷they committed adultery ¹⁸and trooped to the houses of whores.

8 They were well-fed, lusty stallions, ¹⁹each neighing ²⁰for his neighbor's wife.

9 ²¹Shall I not punish them for these things? declares the LORD; and shall I not avenge myself on a nation such as this?

10 ²²"Go up through her vine rows and destroy, ²³but make not a full end; strip away her branches, for they are not the LORD's.

11 ²⁴For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have been utterly treacherous to me, declares the LORD.

12 They have spoken falsely of the LORD and have said, 'He will do nothing; ²⁵no disaster will come upon us, ²⁶nor shall we see sword or famine.

13 The prophets will become wind; the word is not in them. Thus shall it be done to them!'"
