1 “Roam about through the streets of Jerusalem, and look please, and take note, and search at its public squares, if you can find a person who does justice, who seeks honesty, so that I may forgive it.

4 Then I said, “They are just simple people, they are foolish, for they know not the way of Yahweh, the law of their God.
