they did not respond to correction.(B)
Your sword has devoured your prophets(C)
like a ravenous lion.
31 “You of this generation, consider the word of the Lord:
“Have I been a desert to Israel
or a land of great darkness?(D)
Why do my people say, ‘We are free to roam;
we will come to you no more’?(E)
32 Does a young woman forget her jewelry,
a bride her wedding ornaments?
Yet my people have forgotten(F) me,
days without number.
33 How skilled you are at pursuing(G) love!
Even the worst of women can learn from your ways.
34 On your clothes is found
the lifeblood(H) of the innocent poor,
though you did not catch them breaking in.(I)
Yet in spite of all this
35 you say, ‘I am innocent;(J)
he is not angry with me.’
But I will pass judgment(K) on you
because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’(L)

for the Lord has rejected those you trust;
you will not be helped(P) by them.

when he led you in the way?
18 Now why go to Egypt(C)
to drink water from the Nile[a]?(D)
And why go to Assyria(E)
to drink water from the Euphrates?(F)
19 Your wickedness will punish you;
your backsliding(G) will rebuke(H) you.
Consider then and realize
how evil and bitter(I) it is for you
when you forsake(J) the Lord your God
and have no awe(K) of me,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
20 “Long ago you broke off your yoke(L)
and tore off your bonds;(M)
you said, ‘I will not serve you!’(N)
Indeed, on every high hill(O)
and under every spreading tree(P)
you lay down as a prostitute.(Q)
21 I had planted(R) you like a choice vine(S)
of sound and reliable stock.
How then did you turn against me

and use an abundance of cleansing powder,
the stain of your guilt is still before me,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.(W)
23 “How can you say, ‘I am not defiled;(X)
I have not run after the Baals’?(Y)
See how you behaved in the valley;(Z)
consider what you have done.
You are a swift she-camel
running(AA) here and there,
