Charles Spurgeon Commentary Jeremiah 5:1

"Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that doeth justly, that seeketh truth; and I will pardon her." — Jeremiah 5:1 (ASV)

It was a very wonderful offer, on the part of God, to forgive the inhabitants of the whole city of Jerusalem for the sake of one man; and it was all the more remarkable because he gave them time to make a thorough search to see whether such a person could be found: if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth.

Into what a horrible state of guilt must the Jewish capital have fallen when there was not one man, even among the magistrates or the priests, who cared for that which was just and true.

May God prevent London and England from becoming like Jerusalem and Judah! May truth and righteousness flourish in our land!
