Jeremiah 5:1-5 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. “Search Jerusalemfor honest peoplewho try to be faithful.If you can find even one,I'll forgive the whole city.

2. Everyone breaks promisesmade in my name.”

3. I answered, “I knowthat you look for truth.You punished your peoplefor their lies,but in spite of the pain,they became more stubbornand refused to turn backto you.”

4. Then I thought to myself,“These common peopleact like fools,and they have never learntwhat the Lord their Goddemands of them.

5. I'll go and talk to the leaders.They know what God demands.”But even they had decidednot to obey the Lord.
