耶利米書 5:3 ^ 耶和華阿、你的眼目、不是看顧誠實麼．你擊打他們、他們卻不傷慟．你毀滅他們、他們仍不受懲治．他們使臉剛硬過於磐石、不肯回頭。	Jeremiah 5:3 ^ O Lord, do not your eyes see good faith? you have given them punishment, but they were not troubled; you have sent destruction on them, but they did not take your teaching to heart: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they would not come back.
耶利米書 5:4 ^ 我說、這些人實在是貧窮的、是愚昧的．因為不曉得耶和華的作為、和他們　神的法則。	Jeremiah 5:4 ^ Then I said, But these are the poor: they are foolish, for they have no knowledge of the way of the Lord or of the behaviour desired by their God.
耶利米書 5:5 ^ 我要去見尊大的人、對他們說話．因為他們曉得耶和華的作為、和他們　神的法則．那知、這些人齊心將軛折斷、掙開繩索。	Jeremiah 5:5 ^ I will go to the great men and have talk with them; for they have knowledge of the way of the Lord and of the behaviour desired by their God. But as for these, their one purpose is a broken yoke and burst bands.
耶利米書 5:6 ^ 因此、林中的獅子、必害死他們、晚上〔或作野地〕的豺狼、必滅絕他們、豹子要在城外窺伺他們．凡出城的、必被撕碎．因為他們的罪過極多、背道的事也加增了。	Jeremiah 5:6 ^ And so a lion from the woods will put them to death, a wolf of the waste land will make them waste, a leopard will keep watch on their towns, and everyone who goes out from them will be food for the beasts; because of the great number of their sins and the increase of their wrongdoing.
耶利米書 5:7 ^ 我怎能赦免你呢．你的兒女離棄我、又指著那不是神的起誓．我使他們飽足、他們就行姦淫、成群的聚集在娼妓家裡。	Jeremiah 5:7 ^ How is it possible for you to have my forgiveness for this? your children have given me up, taking their oaths by those who are no gods: when I had given them food in full measure, they were false to their wives, taking their pleasure in the houses of loose women.
耶利米書 5:8 ^ 他們像餧飽的馬、到處亂跑、各向他鄰舍的妻發嘶聲。	Jeremiah 5:8 ^ They were full of desire, like horses after a meal of grain: everyone went after his neighbour's wife.

耶利米書 5:12 ^ 他們不認耶和華、說、這並不是他、災禍必不臨到我們．刀劍和飢荒、我們也看不見。	Jeremiah 5:12 ^ They would have nothing to do with the Lord, saying, He will do nothing, and no evil will come to us; we will not see the sword or be short of food:
耶利米書 5:13 ^ 先知的話、必成為風、道也不在他們裡面．這災必臨到他們身上。	Jeremiah 5:13 ^ And the prophets will become wind, and the word is not in them; so it will be done to them.

耶利米書 5:22 ^ 耶和華說、你們怎麼不懼怕我呢．我以永遠的定例、用沙為海的界限、水不得越過．因此、你們在我面前還不戰兢麼。波浪雖然翻騰、卻不能踰越．雖然匉訇、卻不能過去。	Jeremiah 5:22 ^ Have you no fear of me? says the Lord; will you not be shaking with fear before me, who have put the sand as a limit for the sea, by an eternal order, so that it may not go past it? and though it is ever in motion, it is not able to have its way; though the sound of its waves is loud, they are not able to go past it.
