Jeremiah 5:19 Context
17And they shall eate vp thine haruest and thy bread, which thy sonnes and thy daughters should eate: they shall eate vp thy flockes and thine heards: they shall eate vp thy vines and thy figtrees: they shall impouerish thy fenced cities wherein thou trustedst, with the sword. 18Neuerthelesse in those daies, saith the Lord, I will not make a full end with you. 19¶ And it shall come to passe when yee shall say; Wherefore doth the Lord our God all these things vnto vs? then shalt thou answere them; Like as ye haue forsaken me, & serued strange Gods in your land; so shall yee serue strangers in a land that is not yours. 20Declare this in the house of Iacob, and publish it in Iudah saying; 21Heare now this, O foolish people, and without vnderstanding, which haue eyes and see not, which haue eares and heare not.
