Jeremiah 5:7-9
New Catholic Bible
7 Why should I forgive you?
Your children have forsaken me to swear by gods
that are not gods in any way.
When I gave them everything they needed,
they committed adultery
and hastened to the houses of prostitutes.
8 They are well-fed and lusty stallions,
each one neighing for his neighbor’s wife.
9 Shall I not punish them for these things?
asks the Lord.
Shall I not take vengeance on a nation such as this?
