The Justice of God’s Judgment
See now and know;
And seek in her open places
aIf you can find a man,
bIf there is anyone who executes1 judgment,
Who seeks the truth,
cAnd I will pardon her.
You have bstricken them,
But they have not grieved;
You have consumed them,
But cthey have refused to receive correction.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to return.

Jeremiah 5:1
This time period then was at the very height, you might say, or the very depths of Judah's degeneration. God gave Jeremiah a job to do in verse 1:
Can you imagine that? God asks Jeremiah to see if he can find one person who is actually seeking truth. Of course, I think we have to understand this primarily in a spiritual sense. Somebody who was seeking the truth of God. This is what applies to you and me. I do not think that we can limit it to that entirely. Maybe God was saying, "Jeremiah, see if you can find anybody who is seeking truth, even in a general sense," at least from the things that are described here.
