Jeremiah 2:31-33

EasyEnglish Bible

‘People of Israel, why do you not trust me?
    Have I become like a desert for you?
    Have I become a dark and dangerous land for you to live in?
No! But you say, “We are free to go where we like.
    We do not need to serve you any more.”
³² A young woman does not forget to wear her jewels.
When a woman marries,
    she does not forget to wear her special dress.
But for many years, my people have forgotten me.
³³ You are very clever. You can always find someone to love.
    Even prostitutes could learn something from you!
