1 “Search Jerusalemfor honest peoplewho try to be faithful.If you can find even one,I'll forgive the whole city.
2 Everyone breaks promisesmade in my name.”
3 I answered, “I knowthat you look for truth.You punished your peoplefor their lies,but in spite of the pain,they became more stubbornand refused to turn backto you.”
4 Then I thought to myself,“These common peopleact like fools,and they have never learnedwhat the Lord their Goddemands of them.
5 So I'll go and talk to the leaders.They know what God demands.”But even they had decidednot to obey the Lord.
