Jeremiah 5:29
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Should I not punish them for these things?” declares the LORD. “Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?
In context
27 Like cages full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit. Therefore they have become powerful and rich.
28 They have grown fat and sleek, and have excelled in the deeds of the wicked. They have not taken up the cause of the fatherless, that they might prosper; nor have they defended the rights of the needy.
29 Should I not punish them for these things?” declares the LORD. “Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?
30 A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land.
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own authority. My people love it so, but what will you do in the end?
