Jeremiah 5:10

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

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

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.

12 They have lied about the LORD and said: “He will not do anything; harm will not come to us; we will not see sword or famine.
