Jeremiah 5:9

7 “Why should I forgive you? Your children have forsaken Me and sworn by gods that are not gods. I satisfied their needs, yet they committed adultery and assembled at the houses of prostitutes.

8 They are well-fed, lusty stallions, each neighing after his neighbor’s wife.

Should I not punish them for these things?” declares the LORD. “Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?

10 Go up through her vineyards and ravage them, but do not finish them off. Strip off her branches, for they do not belong to the LORD.

11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have been utterly unfaithful to Me,” declares the LORD.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
