King James Version with Apocrypha
"And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely."
— Jeremiah 5:2, King James Version with Apocrypha
“And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely.”
“And though they say, As Jehovah liveth; surely they swear falsely. ”
“Though they say, 'As Yahweh lives;' surely they swear falsely."”
“These people make promises in the name of the LORD. But the fact is, what they swear to is really a lie.””
“And though they say: The Lord liveth; this also they will swear falsely.”
“And though they say, By the living Lord; truly their oaths are false.”
Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely.
O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God.
I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
