O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 3 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.

HERR, deine Augen sehen nach dem Glauben. Du schlägst sie, aber sie fühlen's nicht; du machst es schier aus mit ihnen, aber sie bessern sich nicht. Sie haben ein härter Angesicht denn ein Fels und wollen sich nicht bekehren.
Oh Jehová, ¿no miran tus ojos a la verdad? Azotástelos, y no les dolió; consumístelos, y no quisieron recibir corrección; endurecieron sus rostros más que la piedra, no quisieron tornarse.
Jehová, ¿no buscan tus ojos la fidelidad? Los golpeaste, pero no les dolió; los consumiste, pero se negaron a aceptar la corrección. Endurecieron su rostro más que una roca; se negaron a volver.
Eternel, tes yeux n'aperçoivent-ils pas la vérité? Tu les frappes, et ils ne sentent rien; Tu les consumes, et ils ne veulent pas recevoir instruction; Ils prennent un visage plus dur que le roc, Ils refusent de se convertir.
O Signore, non sono gli occhi tuoi volti verso la lealtà: tu li hai percossi, e non è lor doluto; tu li hai consumati, ed han ricusato di ricevere correzione; hanno indurata la faccia loro, più che un sasso; hanno rifiutato di convertirsi.
Ah SENHOR, porventura não atentam os teus olhos para a verdade? Feriste-os, e não lhes doeu; consumiste-os, e não quiseram receber a correção; endureceram as suas faces mais do que uma rocha; não quiseram voltar.
耶和華啊,你的眼目不是在尋找誠實嗎? 你擊打他們,他們卻不傷慟; 你摧毀他們,他們仍不領受管教。 他們使臉剛硬過於磐石, 不肯回頭。
