Jeremiah 2:29-37
29“WhyH4100 do you contendH7378 with Me? You have 1allH3605 transgressedH6586 against Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.30“2In vainH7723 I have struckH5221 your sonsH1121; They acceptedH3947 noH3808 chasteningH4148. Your 3swordH2719 has devouredH398 your prophetsH5030 Like a destroyingH7843 lionH743.31O generationH1755, heedH7200 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068. Have I beenH1961 a wildernessH4057 to IsraelH3478, OrH518 a 4landH776 of thickH3991 darknessH3991? WhyH4069 do My peopleH5971 sayH559, ‘5We are free to roamH7300; We will noH3808 longerH5750 comeH935 to You’?32Can a virginH1330 forgetH7911 her ornamentsH5716, Or a brideH3618 her attireH7196? Yet My peopleH5971 have 6forgottenH7911 Me DaysH3117 withoutH369 numberH4557.33HowH4100 wellH3190 you prepareH3190 your wayH1870 To seekH1245 loveH160! ThereforeH3651 evenH1571 7the wickedH7451 womenH7451 You have taughtH3925 your waysH1870.34AlsoH1571 on your skirtsH3671 is foundH4672 The 8lifebloodH1818H5315 of the innocentH5355 poorH34; You did not findH4672 them 9breakingH4290 in. But in spiteH5921 of allH3605 theseH428 thingsH428,35Yet you saidH559, ‘I am innocentH5352; SurelyH389 His angerH639 is turnedH7725 awayH7725 from me.’ BeholdH2009, I will 10enterH8199 into judgmentH8199 with you BecauseH5921 you 11sayH559, ‘I have not sinnedH2398.’36WhyH4100 do you 12goH235 around soH3966 muchH3966 ChangingH8132 your wayH1870? AlsoH1571, 13you will be putH954 to shameH954 by EgyptH4714 As you were putH954 to shameH954 by 14AssyriaH804.37From thisH2088 place alsoH1571 you will goH3318 out With 15your handsH3027 on your headH7218; For the LordH3068 has rejectedH3988 16those in whomH4009 you trustH4009, And you will not prosperH6743 with them.”
