1. The Lord said,“Go up and down through the streets of Jerusalem.Look around and see for yourselves.Search through its public squares.See if any of you can find a single personwho deals honestly and tries to be truthful.If you can, then I will not punish this city.
2. These people make promises in the name of the Lord.But the fact is, what they swear to is really a lie.”
3. Lord, I know you look for faithfulness.But even when you punish these people, they feel no remorse.Even when you nearly destroy them, they refuse to be corrected.They have become as hardheaded as a rock.They refuse to change their ways.
