Jeremiah 2:31-33

Common English Bible

³¹ People of this generation, listen closely to the Lord’s word:
Have I been a wasteland to Israel
    or a land of dense darkness?
Why then do my people say,
    “We have wandered far away;
    we’ll come to you no longer”?
³² Does a young woman forget her jewelry
    or a bride her wedding dress?
Yet you have forgotten me days without end!
³³     So skilled are you at pursuing lovers^[a]
        that you instruct even the most wicked.^[b]
