Jeremiah 5:4

Then I said, “These are only the poor;

they have no sense;

for they do not know the way of the Lord,

the justice of their God.

I thought, “These are only the poor;

they are foolish,

for they do not know the way of the Lord,

the requirements of their God.

Then I thought:

They are just the poor;

they have been foolish.

For they don’t understand the way of the Lord,

the justice of their God.

Then I said, “But what can we expect from the poor?

They are ignorant.

They don’t know the ways of the Lord.

They don’t understand God’s laws.

Then I said, “They are just simple people,

they are foolish,

for they know not the way of Yahweh,

the law of their God.

Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God.
