Jeremiah 2:29-37

29Why do you bring a case against Me? You have all rebelled against Me,” declares the LORD.30“I have struck your sons in vain; they accepted no discipline. Your own sword has devoured your prophets like a voracious lion.”

31You people of this generation, consider the word of the LORD:

“Have I been a wilderness to Israelor a land of dense darkness?Why do My people say,‘We are free to roam;we will come to You no more’?32Does a maiden forget her jewelryor a bride her wedding sash?Yet My people have forgotten Mefor days without number.
33How skillfully you pursue love!Even the most immoral of womencould learn from your ways.34Moreover, your skirts are stainedwith the blood of the innocent poor,though you did not find them breaking in.
But in spite of all these things35you say, ‘I am innocent.Surely His anger will turn from me.’Behold, I will judge you,because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
36How impulsive you are,constantly changing your ways!You will be disappointed by Egyptjust as you were by Assyria.37Moreover, you will leave that placewith your hands on your head,for the LORD has rejected those you trust;you will not prosper by their help.”
