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.
They are foolish;
For athey do not know the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.

Jeremiah 5:1
The broad places - The open spaces next the gates, and other places of concourse.
A man - Or, anyone.
That executeth - " That" practiceth.
Truth - uprightness, probity (so in Jeremiah 5:3).
