Jeremiah 5:12
They have belied the Lord - kichashu . They have denied or disavowed the Lord.
It is not he - lo hu , he is not; there is no such being; therefore this evil shall not come upon us. On their premises, this conclusion was just. There is no judge; therefore there shall be no judgment. Thus they denied the Lord. They were atheists at heart.
