ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૫:૯
આ સર્વ બાબતોને માટે મારે શું તેમને સજા ન કરવી? એમ યહોવાહ કહે છે. શું હું આવી પ્રજાઓ પર મારું વૈર ન વાળું?
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ५:९
क्या मैं ऐसे कामों का उन्हें दण्ड न दूँ? यहोवा की यह वाणी है; क्या मैं ऐसी जाति से अपना पलटा न लूँ?

In context

7“How can I pardon you? Your children have forsaken me, and sworn by what are no gods. When I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the prostitutes’ houses.

8They were as fed horses roaming at large. Everyone neighed after his neighbor’s wife.

9Shouldn’t I punish them for these things?” says the LORD. “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

10“Go up on her walls, and destroy, but don’t make a full end. Take away her branches, for they are not the LORD’s.

11For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me,” says the LORD.
