Jeremiah 2:29-32

29Why do you bring a case against me? All of you have rebelled against me. This is the Lord’s declaration.

30I have struck down your children in vain; they would not accept discipline. Your own sword has devoured your prophets like a ravaging lion.

31Evil generation, pay attention to the word of the Lord! Have I been a wilderness to Israel or a land of dense darkness? Why do my people claim, “We will go where we want; we will no longer come to you”?

32Can a young woman forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding sash? Yet my people have forgotten me for countless days.
