Jeremiah 5:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 5:1

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.

2 ^aThough they say, ‘As ^bthe Lord lives,’
Surely they ^cswear falsely.”

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.

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.

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.
