2And if they say, 'Jehovah liveth,' Surely to a falsehood they swear.


In Context

1 Go to and fro in streets of Jerusalem, And see, I pray you, and know, And seek in her broad places, if ye find a man, If there be one doing judgment, seeking stedfastness — Then am I propitious to her.

2 And if they say, 'Jehovah liveth,' Surely to a falsehood they swear.

3 Jehovah, Thine eyes, are they not on stedfastness? Thou hast smitten them, and they have not grieved, Thou hast consumed them, They have refused to receive instruction, They made their faces harder than a rock, They have refused to turn back.

4 And I — I said, 'Surely these are poor, They have been foolish, For they have not known the way of Jehovah, The judgment of their God.
