jeremiah 5:3 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.

jeremiah 5:3 O LORD, do not Thine eyes look for truth? Thou hast smitten them, [But] they did not weaken; Thou hast consumed them, But they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; They have refused to repent.

3. eyes upon the truth-- (De 32:4; 2Ch 16:9). "Truth" is in contrast with "swear falsely" (Jer 5:2). The false-professing Jews could expect nothing but judgments from the God of truth.
stricken . . . not grieved-- (Jer 2:30; Isa 1:5; 9:13).
refused . . . correction-- (Jer 7:28; Zep 3:2).

jeremiah 5:3 O LORD, do not Thine eyes look for truth? Thou hast smitten them, [But] they did not weaken; Thou hast consumed them, But they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; They have refused to repent.
