Jeremiah

Jeremiah 5:9–11

9Should I not punish them for these things?”

declares the LORD.

“Should I not avenge Myself

on such a nation as this?

10Go up through her vineyards and ravage them,

but do not finish them off.

Strip off her branches,

for they do not belong to the LORD.

11For the house of Israel and the house of Judah

have been utterly unfaithful to Me,”

declares the LORD.
