Jeremiah 2:29-37

29Wherefore will ye pleadH7378 with me? ye all have transgressedH6586 against me, saithH5002 YhwhH3068. 30In vainH7723 have I smittenH5221 your childrenH1121; they receivedH3947 no correctionH4148: your own swordH2719 hath devouredH398 your prophetsH5030, like a destroyingH7843 lionH738.

31O generationH1755, seeH7200 ye the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068. Have I been a wildernessH4057 unto IsraelH3478? a landH776 of darknessH3991? wherefore sayH559 my peopleH5971, We are lordsH7300; we will comeH935 no more unto thee?1 32Can a maidH1330 forgetH7911 her ornamentsH5716, or a brideH3618 her attireH7196? yet my peopleH5971 have forgottenH7911 me daysH3117 without numberH4557. 33Why trimmestH3190 thou thy wayH1870 to seekH1245 loveH160? therefore hast thou also taughtH3925 the wicked onesH7451 thy waysH1870. 34Also in thy skirtsH3671 is foundH4672 the bloodH1818 of the soulsH5315 of the poorH34 innocentsH5355: I have not foundH4672 it by secret searchH4290, but upon all these.2 35Yet thou sayestH559, Because I am innocentH5352, surely his angerH639 shall turnH7725 from me. Behold, I will pleadH8199 with thee, because thou sayestH559, I have not sinnedH2398. 36Why gaddest thou aboutH235 so muchH3966 to changeH8138 thy wayH1870? thou also shalt be ashamedH954 of EgyptH4714, as thou wast ashamedH954 of AssyriaH804. 37Yea, thou shalt go forthH3318 from him, and thine handsH3027 upon thine headH7218: for YhwhH3068 hath rejectedH3988 thy confidencesH4009, and thou shalt not prosperH6743 in them.
