Jeremiah 5:5

Jer 5:5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, [and] the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, [and] burst the bonds.

Ver. 5. I will get me unto the great men. ] Who have been better bred, and abound with leisure, and other helps to holy living.

But these have altogether broken the yoke. ] Of God, of the law, and of discipline. These are lawless and awless, and think they may lay the reins in the neck, and run riot.
