## Jeremiah 5:9-11 in Context (Verses 6–14 KJV)
 
 [6 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/6) Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, *and* a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, *and* their backslidings are increased.**
 
 [7 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/7) ¶ How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by *them that are* no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/8) They were *as* fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/9) Shall I not visit for these *things*? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
 
 [10 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/10) ¶ Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they *are* not the LORD’s.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/11) For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/12) They have belied the LORD, and said, *It is* not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
 
 [13 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/13) And the prophets shall become wind, and the word *is* not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/14) Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
 
[Jeremiah 4](/kjv/jeremiah/4) [Jeremiah 6](/kjv/jeremiah/6)
