Jeremiah 2:29-37
29WhyH4100 do you bring a caseH7378 against MeH413? You have allH3605 rebelledH6586 against Me,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.30“I have struckH5221 your sonsH1121 in vainH7723; they acceptedH3947 noH3808 disciplineH4148. Your own swordH2719 has devouredH398 your prophetsH5030 like a voraciousH7843 lionH738.”
31YouH859 people of this generationH1755, considerH7200 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068:
“Have I beenH1961 a wildernessH4057 to IsraelH3478orH518 a landH776 of dense darknessH3991?WhyH4069 do My peopleH5971 sayH559,‘We are free to roamH7300;we willH3808 comeH935 to YouH413 no moreH5750’?32Does a maidenH1330 forgetH7911 her jewelryH5716or a brideH3618 her wedding sashH7196?Yet My peopleH5971 have forgotten MeH7911for daysH3117 withoutH369 numberH4557.
33HowH4100 skillfullyH3190H1870 you pursueH1245 loveH160H3651!EvenH1571 the most immoral of womenH7451could learnH3925 from your waysH1870.34MoreoverH1571, your skirtsH3671 are stainedH4672with the bloodH1818H5315 of the innocentH5355 poorH34,though you did notH3808 find themH4672 breaking inH4290.
ButH3588 in spite ofH5921 allH3605 these thingsH42835you sayH559H3588, ‘I am innocentH5352.SurelyH389 His angerH639 will turnH7725 from meH4480.’BeholdH2005, I will judgeH8199 youH854,becauseH5921 you sayH559, ‘I have notH3808 sinnedH2398.’
36HowH4100 impulsive you areH2151,constantlyH3966 changingH8138 your waysH1870H1571!You will be disappointedH954 by EgyptH4714just asH834 youH954 were by AssyriaH804.37MoreoverH1571H854, you will leaveH3318 that placeH2088with your handsH3027 onH5921 your headH7218,forH3588 the LORDH3068 has rejectedH3988 those you trustH4009;you will notH3808 prosperH6743 by their help.”
