And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.

The verse 2 is found in chapter 5 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah searches for even one person who practices justice and is faithful in Jerusalem, but finds corruption among both the poor and the leaders. Comparisons with wild animals illustrate the danger produced by rebellion. The moral failure is widespread and cannot be reduced to a single social class.

Und wenn sie schon sprechen: "Bei dem lebendigen Gott!", so schwören sie doch falsch.
Y si dijeren: Vive Jehová; por tanto jurarán mentira.
Même quand ils disent: L'Eternel est vivant! C'est faussement qu'ils jurent.
E se pur dicono: Il Signor vive; certo giurano falsamente.
E ainda que digam: Vive o SENHOR, de certo falsamente juram.
雖然他們說「我對永生的耶和華發誓」, 所起的誓實在是假的。
