The word to declare in the house of Jacob, and the LORD’s word “Shouldn’t I punish for these things?”

야곱 집에 선포하라는 말과 이 일들을 인하여 벌하지 아니하겠느냐는 여호와의 말씀

Jeremiah 5:20–31: “Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, ‘Hear this now, foolish people without understanding, who have eyes, and don’t see, who have ears, and don’t hear: Don’t you fear me?’ says the LORD; ‘Won’t you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it can’t pass it? Though its waves toss themselves, yet they can’t prevail. Though they roar, they still can’t pass over it.’ “But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart. They have revolted and gone. They don’t say in their heart, ‘Let’s now fear the LORD our God, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season, who preserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.’ “Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you. For wicked men are found among my people. They watch, as fowlers lie in wait. They set a trap. They catch men. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit. Therefore they have become great, and grew rich. They have grown fat. They shine; yes, they excel in deeds of wickedness. They don’t plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and they don’t defend the rights of the needy. “Shouldn’t I punish for these things?” says the LORD. “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? “An astonishing and horrible thing has happened in the land. The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own authority; and my people love to have it so. What will you do in the end of it?” WEB does not close at 5:31 the quotation it opens at 5:30. The Korean Revised Version reads 5:23, 5:24 and 5:27 in the second person (너희 백성은, 너희 마음으로, 너희 집들에, 너희가), where WEB reads “this people”, “in their heart”, “their houses” and “they”, and closes 5:29 with 여호와의 말이니라, where WEB sets “says the LORD” after the first question.
