Jeremiah 5:2
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Although they say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives,’ they are swearing falsely.”
In context
1 “Go up and down the streets of Jerusalem. Look now and take note; search her squares. If you can find a single person, anyone who acts justly, anyone who seeks the truth, then I will forgive the city.
2 Although they say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives,’ they are swearing falsely.”
3 O LORD, do not Your eyes look for truth? You struck them, but they felt no pain. You finished them off, but they refused to accept discipline. They have made their faces harder than stone and refused to repent.
4 Then I said, “They are only the poor; they have played the fool, for they do not know the way of the LORD, the justice of their God.
