Jeremiah 5:4-8 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

4. And I said, Surely these are the wretched ones, they are foolish; for they know not the way of Jehovah, the judgment of their God

5. I will go unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they know the way of Jehovah, the judgment of their God but these have altogether broken the yoke, have burst the bonds.

6. Therefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, a wolf of the evenings shall waste them; the leopard lurketh against their cities, every one that goeth out thence is torn in pieces: for their transgressions are multiplied, their backslidings are increased.

7. Wherefore should I pardon thee? Thy children have forsaken me, and swear by them that are not God I have satiated them, and they have committed adultery, and they troop to the harlots' house.

8. As well fed horses, they roam about, every one neigheth after his neighbour's wife.
