Jeremiah 2:29-37
29Wherefore will ye contendH7378 with me? ye all have transgressedH6586 against me, saith Jehovah. 30In vain have I smitten your children; they receivedH3947 no correctionH4148: your own swordH2719 hath devouredH398 your prophetsH5030, like a destroyingH7843 lionH738. 31O generationH1755, seeH7200 ye the wordH1697 of Jehovah. Have I beenH1961 a wildernessH4057 unto IsraelH3478? or a landH776 of thick darkness? wherefore sayH559 my peopleH5971, We are broken loose; we will comeH935 no more unto thee? 32Can a virginH1330 forgetH7911 her ornamentsH5716, or a brideH3618 her attire? yet my peopleH5971 have forgottenH7911 me daysH3117 without numberH4557. 33HowH4100 trimmest thou thy wayH1870 to seekH1245 loveH160! thereforeH3651 even the wickedH7451 women hast thou taughtH3925 thy waysH1870. 34AlsoH1571 in thy skirtsH3671 is foundH4672 the bloodH1818 of the soulsH5315 of the innocentH5355 poor: thou didst not findH4672 them breakingH4290 in; but it is because of all these thingsH428. 35Yet thou saidst, I am innocent; surely his angerH639 is turnedH7725 awayH7725 from me. Behold, I will enterH8199 into judgmentH8199 with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinnedH2398. 36WhyH4100 gaddest thou about so much to change thy wayH1870? thou shalt be ashamedH954 of EgyptH4714 alsoH1571, as thou wast ashamedH954 of AssyriaH804. 37From thence alsoH1571 shalt thou goH3318 forthH3318, with thy handsH3027 upon thy headH7218: for Jehovah hath rejectedH3988 those in whom thou trustest, and thou shalt not prosperH6743 with them.
