Jeremiah 5:9 Context
7¶ How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children haue forsaken mee, and sworne by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adulterie, and assembled themselues by troupes in the harlots houses. 8They were as fed horses in the morning: euery one neighed after his neighbours wife: 9Shall I not visit for these things, sayth the Lord, and shall not my soule bee auenged on such a nation as this? 10¶ Goe yee vp vpon her walles, and destroy, but make not a full ende: take away her battlements, for they are not the Lords. 11For the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord.
