Jerusalem Refused to Repent

1 ^aRun to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem,
look and take note!
Search her squares to see
^bif you can find a man,
one who does justice
and seeks truth,
^cthat I may pardon her.

Jeremiah 6:13

13 ^d“For from the least to the greatest of them,
everyone ^eis greedy for unjust gain;
and from ^fprophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.

Jeremiah 9:2-6

2 ^{▼▼Ch 9:1 in Hebrew} Oh that I had in the desert
a travelers’ lodging place,
that I might leave my people
and go away from them!
For they are all ^hadulterers,
a company of ⁱtreacherous men.
3 ^jThey bend their tongue like a bow;
falsehood and not truth has grown strong ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew and not for truth they have grown strong} in the land;
for they proceed from evil to evil,
^land they do not know me, declares the Lord.
4 ^mLet everyone beware of his neighbor,
and put no trust in any brother,
for every ⁿbrother is a deceiver,
and every neighbor ^ogoes about as a slanderer.
5 Everyone deceives his neighbor,
and no one speaks the truth;
they have taught their tongue to speak lies;
they weary themselves committing iniquity.
6 Heaping oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit,
^pthey refuse to know me, declares the Lord.

Daniel 9:11

11 ^qAll Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, ^rrefusing to obey your voice. ^sAnd the curse and oath ^tthat are written in the Law of ^uMoses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because ^vwe have sinned against him.

Romans 3:19

19 Now we know that whatever ^wthe law says it speaks to those who are under the law, ^xso that every mouth may be stopped, and ^ythe whole world may be held accountable to God.
