| 5 1 | Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, look and take note! Search her squares to see if you can find a man, one who does justice and seeks truth; that I may pardon her. | The sin of Jerusalem. Jr.5.1-11 | שֹׁוטְטוּ בְּחוּצֹות יְרוּשָׁלִַם וּרְאוּ־נָא וּדְעוּ וּבַקְשׁוּ בִרְחֹובֹותֶיהָ אִם־תִּמְצְאוּ אִישׁ אִם־יֵשׁ עֹשֶׂה מִשְׁפָּט מְבַקֵּשׁ אֱמוּנָה וְאֶסְלַח לָהּ׃ |
| 2 | Though they say, "As Yahweh lives," yet they swear falsely. | וְאִם חַי־יְהֹוָה יֹאמֵרוּ לָכֵן לַשֶּׁקֶר יִשָּׁבֵעוּ׃ | |
| 3 | O Yahweh, do not your eyes look for truth? You have smitten them, but they felt no anguish; you have consumed them, but they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; they have refused to repent. | יְהֹוָה עֵינֶיךָ הֲלֹוא לֶאֱמוּנָה הִכִּיתָה אֹתָם וְלֹא־חָלוּ כִּלִּיתָם מֵאֲנוּ קַחַת מוּסָר חִזְּקוּ פְנֵיהֶם מִסֶּלַע מֵאֲנוּ לָשׁוּב׃ | |
| 4 | Then I said, "These are only the poor, they have no sense; for they do not know the way of Yahweh, the law of their God. | וַאֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי אַךְ־דַּלִּים הֵם נֹואֲלוּ כִּי לֹא יָדְעוּ דֶּרֶךְ יְהוָה מִשְׁפַּט אֱלֹהֵיהֶם׃ | |
| 5 | I will go to the great, and will speak to them; for they know the way of Yahweh, the law of their God." But they all alike had broken the yoke, they had burst the bonds. | אֵלֲכָה־לִּי אֶל־הַגְּדֹלִים וַאֲדַבְּרָה אֹותָם כִּי הֵמָּה יָדְעוּ דֶּרֶךְ יְהוָה מִשְׁפַּט אֱלֹהֵיהֶם אַךְ הֵמָּה יַחְדָּו שָׁבְרוּ עֹל נִתְּקוּ מֹוסֵרֹות׃ | |
| 6 | Therefore a lion from the forest shall slay them, a wolf from the desert shall destroy them. A leopard is watching against their cities, every one who goes out of them shall be torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, their apostasies are great. | עַל־כֵּן הִכָּם אַרְיֵה מִיַּעַר זְאֵב עֲרָבֹות יְשָׁדְדֵם נָמֵר שֹׁקֵד עַל־עָרֵיהֶם כָּל־הַיֹּוצֵא מֵהֵנָּה יִטָּרֵף כִּי רַבּוּ פִּשְׁעֵיהֶם עָצְמוּ כ= מְשֻׁבֹותֵיהֶם׃ ק= מְשׁוּבֹותֵיהֶם׃ | |
| 7 | "How can I pardon you? Your children have forsaken me, and have sworn by those who are no gods. When I fed them to the full, they committed adultery and trooped to the houses of harlots. | אֵי לָזֹאת כ= אֶסְלֹוחַ ק= אֶסְלַח־לָךְ בָּנַיִךְ עֲזָבוּנִי וַיִּשָּׁבְעוּ בְּלֹא אֱלֹהִים וָאַשְׂבִּעַ אֹותָם וַיִּנְאָפוּ וּבֵית זֹונָה יִתְגֹּדָדוּ׃ | |
| 8 | They were well-fed lusty stallions, each neighing for his neighbour's wife. | סוּסִים מְיֻזָּנִים מַשְׁכִּים הָיוּ אִישׁ אֶל־אֵשֶׁת רֵעֵהוּ יִצְהָלוּ׃ | |
| 9 | Shall I not punish them for these things? says Yahweh; and shall I not avenge myself on a nation such as this? | הַעַל־אֵלֶּה לֹוא־אֶפְקֹד נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה וְאִם בְּגֹוי אֲשֶׁר־כָּזֶה לֹא תִתְנַקֵּם נַפְשִׁי׃ ס | |
| 10 | "Go up through her vine-rows and destroy, but make not a full end; strip away her branches, for they are not Yahweh's. | The LORD rejects Israel. Jr.5.10-19 | עֲלוּ בְשָׁרֹותֶיהָ וְשַׁחֵתוּ וְכָלָה אַל־תַּעֲשׂוּ הָסִירוּ נְטִישֹׁותֶיהָ כִּי לֹוא לַיהוָה הֵמָּה׃ |
| 11 | For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have been utterly faithless to me, says Yahweh. | כִּי בָגֹוד בָּגְדוּ בִּי בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבֵית יְהוּדָה נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ | |
