The Justice of God’s Judgment
1 “Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem;
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.
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.
3 O Lord, are not aYour eyes on the truth?
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.
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.
4 Therefore I said, “Surely these are poor.
They are foolish;
For athey do not know the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.
They are foolish;
For athey do not know the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.
5 I will go to the great men and speak to them,
For athey have known the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.”
But these have altogether bbroken the yoke
And burst the bonds.
For athey have known the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.”
But these have altogether bbroken the yoke
And burst the bonds.
