1 Roam through the streets of Jerusalem.Look and take note;search in her squares.If you find one person, any who acts justly,who seeks to be faithful,then I will forgive her.
2 When they say, “As the Lord lives,” they are swearing falsely.
3 Lord, don’t Your eyes look for faithfulness? You have struck them, but they felt no pain. You finished them off,but they refused to accept discipline. They made their faces harder than rock, and they refused to return.
4 Then I thought:They are just the poor;they have played the fool.For they don’t understand the way of the Lord, the justice of their God.
