00:00.560 --> 00:01.380
Chapter 5.

00:02.180 --> 00:07.440
Run ye to and fro through the streets of
Jerusalem, and see now, and know,

00:07.900 --> 00:13.460
and seek in the broad places thereof,
if ye can find a man, if there be any that

00:13.460 --> 00:18.120
executeth judgment, that seeketh the
truth, and I will pardon it.

00:18.540 --> 00:22.140
And though they say, The Lord liveth,
surely they swear falsely.

00:22.780 --> 00:25.620
O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth?

00:26.100 --> 00:28.680
Thou hast stricken them, but they have not
grieved.

00:29.300 --> 00:33.320
Thou hast consumed them, but they have
refused to receive correction.

00:34.140 --> 00:37.900
They have made their faces harder than a
rock, they have refused to return.

00:38.620 --> 00:43.260
Therefore I said, Surely these are poor,
they are foolish, for they know not the

00:43.260 --> 00:45.440
way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their
God.

00:46.440 --> 00:50.160
I will get me unto the great men,
and will speak unto them, for they have

00:50.160 --> 00:52.500
known the way of the Lord, and the
judgment of their God.

00:53.240 --> 00:56.840
But these have altogether broken the yoke,
and burst the bonds.

00:57.700 --> 01:01.740
Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall
slay them, and a wolf of the evening shall

01:01.740 --> 01:02.360
spoil them.

01:02.800 --> 01:04.480
A leopard shall watch over their cities.

01:05.000 --> 01:09.180
Every one that goeth out thence shall be
torn in pieces, because their

01:09.180 --> 01:12.400
transgressions are many, and their
backslidings are increased.

01:13.820 --> 01:15.280
How shall I pardon thee for this?

01:15.840 --> 01:20.180
Thy children have forsaken me,
and sworn by them that are no gods.

01:20.780 --> 01:24.600
When I had fed them to the full,
they then committed adultery, and

01:24.600 --> 01:27.200
assembled themselves by troops in the
harlot's houses.

01:28.240 --> 01:32.200
They were as fed horses in the morning,
every one neighed after his neighbor's

01:32.200 --> 01:32.520
wife.

01:33.420 --> 01:35.740
Shall I not visit for these things,
saith the Lord?

01:36.200 --> 01:39.320
And shall not my soul be avenged on such a
nation as this?

01:40.480 --> 01:44.400
Go ye up upon her walls and destroy,
but make not a full end.

01:45.120 --> 01:48.180
Take away her battlements, for they are
not the Lord's.

01:48.940 --> 01:52.660
For the house of Israel and the house of
Judah have dealt very treacherously

01:52.660 --> 01:54.580
against me, saith the Lord.

01:55.420 --> 01:58.720
They have belied the Lord, and said,
It is not he.

01:59.460 --> 02:03.440
Neither shall evil come upon us,
neither shall we see sword nor famine.

02:04.080 --> 02:07.200
And the prophets shall become wind,
and the word is not in them.

02:08.140 --> 02:09.580
Thus shall it be done unto them.

02:10.520 --> 02:14.460
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of
hosts, because she speak this word,

02:14.580 --> 02:20.960
Behold, I will make my words in thy mouth
fire, and this people wood, and it shall

02:20.960 --> 02:21.800
devour them.

02:22.480 --> 02:27.400
Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from
far, O house of Israel, saith the Lord.

02:27.960 --> 02:32.580
It is a mighty nation, it is an ancient
nation, a nation whose language thou

02:32.580 --> 02:35.380
knowest not, neither understandest what
they say.

02:36.420 --> 02:38.920
Their quiver is as an open sepulcher.

02:39.740 --> 02:44.160
They are all mighty men, and they shall
eat up thine harvest and thy bread,

02:44.160 --> 02:46.300
which thy sons and thy daughters should
eat.

02:47.060 --> 02:51.080
They shall eat up thy flocks and thine
herds, they shall eat up thy vines and thy

02:51.080 --> 02:56.200
fig trees, they shall impoverish thy
fenced cities wherein thou trustest with

02:56.200 --> 02:56.720
the sword.

02:57.840 --> 03:02.380
Nevertheless, in those days, saith the
Lord, I will not make a full end with you.

03:03.860 --> 03:08.200
And it shall come to pass, when ye shall
say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God all

03:08.200 --> 03:09.620
these things unto us?

03:09.940 --> 03:15.120
Then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye
have forsaken me, and serve strange gods

03:15.120 --> 03:19.020
in your land, so shall ye serve strangers
in a land that is not yours.

03:19.640 --> 03:22.840
Declare this in the house of Jacob,
and publish it in Judah, saying,

03:23.560 --> 03:29.080
Hear now this, O foolish people,
and without understanding, which have eyes

03:29.080 --> 03:31.640
and see not, which have ears and hear not.

03:32.540 --> 03:34.300
Fear not me, saith the Lord.

03:35.080 --> 03:38.840
Will ye not tremble at my presence,
which hath placed the sand for the bound

03:38.840 --> 03:42.300
of the sea by a perpetual decree,
that it cannot pass it?

03:42.960 --> 03:47.120
And though the waves thereof toss
themselves, yet can they not prevail?

03:47.680 --> 03:50.320
Though they roar, yet can they not pass
over it?

03:51.240 --> 03:54.820
But this people hath a revolting and a
rebellious heart, they are revolted and

03:54.820 --> 03:55.080
gone.

03:55.700 --> 04:00.360
Neither say they in their heart,
Let us now fear the Lord our God,

04:00.680 --> 04:04.320
that giveth rain, both the former and the
latter, in his season.

04:04.960 --> 04:08.120
He reserveth unto us the appointed weeks
of the harvest.

04:09.420 --> 04:13.120
Your iniquities have turned away these
things, and your sins have withholden good

04:13.120 --> 04:13.960
things from you.

04:15.020 --> 04:17.000
For among my people are found wicked men.

04:17.560 --> 04:20.180
They lay wait, as he that setteth snares.

04:20.180 --> 04:22.520
They set a trap, they catch men.

04:23.400 --> 04:26.840
As a cage is full of birds, so are their
houses full of deceit.

04:27.580 --> 04:30.140
Therefore they are become great,
and waxen rich.

04:30.900 --> 04:32.820
They are waxen fat, they shine.

04:33.520 --> 04:35.360
Yea, they overpass the deeds of the
wicked.

04:36.240 --> 04:39.760
They judge not the cause, the cause of the
fatherless, yet they prosper.

04:40.440 --> 04:42.360
And the right of the needy do they not
judge.

04:43.180 --> 04:45.720
Shall I not visit for these things,
saith the Lord?

04:46.280 --> 04:49.300
Shall not my soul be avenged on such a
nation as this?

04:50.480 --> 04:52.840
A wonderful and horrible thing is
committed in the land.

04:53.260 --> 04:57.240
The prophets prophesy falsely,
and the priests bear rule by their means.

04:58.020 --> 04:59.920
And my people love to have it so.

05:00.860 --> 05:03.020
And what will ye do in the end thereof?
