New International Reader's Version

Jeremiah 5:1-3 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. The Lord says, "Go up and down the streets of Jerusalem. Look around. Think about what you see. Search through the market places. See if you can find one honest person who tries to be truthful. If you can, I will forgive this city.

2. They take all of their oaths in my name. They say, 'You can be sure that the Lord is alive.' But their oaths can't be trusted."

3. Lord, don't your eyes look for truth? You struck your people down. But they didn't feel any pain. You crushed them. But they refused to be corrected. They made their faces harder than stone. They refused to turn away from their sins.
