Who deals with honesty and seeks the truth?

Jeremiah 5:1-9
If there is one person who deals with honesty and seeks the truth, the Lord will forgive this city.
Prophet thought, "These are only the poor; they are foolish, for they do not know the way of the Lord, the requirement of their God. So I will go to the leaders and speak to them;  surely they know the way of the Lord, but with one accord they too had broken off the yoke and torn off the bonds.
The Lord said "Why should I forgive you? your children have forsaken me and sworn by gods that are not gods. I supplied all their needs, yet they committed adultery and thronged to the houses of prostitutes."
Should I not punish them for this? declares the Lord.
Why?
There is no one who deals with honesty and seeks the truth. The poor they are foolish, for they do not know the requirement of the Lord, the leaders who know the way of the Lord, but they all have broken off the covenant of the Lord.
So there is no reason the Lord won't punish them.
God searches in vain for a vestige of truth and justice among his people The nation is steeped in idolatry; happy with a rotten society; untroubled by conscience. There was a dark and wicked nation.
How?
Am I a man who deals with honesty and seeks the truth in this dark world. Strength me, O Lord, let me be a light in this dark nations, may my life could be useful to show the way to you. Even a little light in the dark is very significant.
