7 Wherefore should I pardon thee? The children have forsaken Me, And sworn by no-gods; And when I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, And assembled themselves in troops at the harlots' houses. 8 They are become as well-fed horses, lusty stallions; Every one neigheth after his neighbour's wife. 9 Shall I not punish for these things? Saith the LORD; And shall not My soul be avenged On such a nation as this? Jeremiah 5:7-9, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
