5 Go roving about in the streets of Jerusalem and see, now, and know, and seek for yourselves in her public squares whether YOU can find a man,+ whether there exists anyone doing justice,+ anyone seeking faithfulness,+ and I shall forgive her.

4 Hear the word of Jehovah, O sons of Israel, for Jehovah has a legal case with the inhabitants of the land,*+ for there is no truth+ nor loving-kindness* nor knowledge of God in the land.+

2 The loyal one* has perished from the earth,* and among mankind* there is no upright one.+ All of them, for bloodshed they lie in wait.+ They hunt, everyone his own brother, with a dragnet.+
