Jeremiah 5:7-9 How can I be merciful to thee? thy children have forsaken me, and swear by them that are not gods: I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and rioted in the harlot's house.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ How can I be merciful to thee? thy children have forsaken me, and swear by them that are not gods: I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and rioted in the harlot's house. ⁸ They are become as amorous horses and stallions: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife. ⁹ Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord? and shall not my soul take revenge on such a nation?
