    Jeremiah 5
    • 1   Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in its broad places, if ye can find a man, if there is [any] that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
    • 2   And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.
    • 3   O LORD, [are] not thy eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, [but] they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
    • 4   Therefore I said, Surely these [are] poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, [nor] the judgment of their God.
    • 5   I will go to the great men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the LORD, [and] the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, [and] burst the bonds.
    • 6   Wherefore a lion from the forest shall slay them, [and] a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, [and] their backslidings are increased.
    • 7   How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by [them that are] no gods: when I had fed them to the full, then they committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
    • 8   They were [as] fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbor's wife.
    • 9   Shall I not visit for these [things]? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
    • 10   Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they [are] not the LORD'S.
    • 11   For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.
    • 12   They have belied the LORD, and said, [It is] not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
    • 13   And the prophets shall become wind, and the word [is] not in them: thus shall it be done to them.
    • 14   Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, Behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
    • 15   Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it [is] a mighty nation, it [is] an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
    • 16   Their quiver [is] as an open sepulcher, they [are] all mighty men.
    • 17   And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy bread, [which] thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees: they shall impoverish with the sword thy fortified cities, in which thou hast trusted.
    • 18   Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.
    • 19   And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Why doeth the LORD our God all these [things] to us? then shalt thou answer them, As ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land [that is] not yours.
    • 20   Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
    • 21   Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; who have eyes, and see not; who have ears, and hear not:
    • 22   Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand [for] the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though its waves toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
    • 23   But this people have a revolting and a rebellious heart; they have revolted and gone.
    • 24   Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in its season: he reserveth to us the appointed weeks of harvest.
    • 25   Your iniquities have turned away these [things], and your sins have withheld good [things] from you.
    • 26   For among my people are found wicked [men]: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
    • 27   As a cage is full of birds, so [are] their houses full of deceit: therefore they have become great, and have grown rich.
    • 28   They have become fat, they shine: yes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
    • 29   Shall I not visit for these [things]? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
    • 30   A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
    • 31   The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love [to have it] so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

    Webster Bible Electronic Format.
    PUBLIC DOMAIN

    February 1992

    Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.

    I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

    I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.
