Jeremiah 5:5

5 I will go to the leaders ^{▼▼ Or “people in power”; Heb “the great ones.”}
and speak with them.
Surely they know what the Lord demands. ^{▼▼ Heb “the way of the Lord.”}
Surely they know what their God requires of them.” ^{▼▼ Heb “the judgment [or ordinance] of their God.”}
Yet all of them, too, have rejected his authority
and refuse to submit to him. ^{▼▼ Heb “have broken the yoke and torn off the yoke ropes.” Compare Jer 2:20 and the note there.}
