Jeremiah 2:30-32
New American Standard Bible
30 “(A)In vain I have struck your sons;
They did not accept discipline.
Your (B)sword has devoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
31 You generation, look to the word of the Lord.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
Or a (C)land of thick darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘(D)We are free to roam;
We will no longer come to You’?
32 Can a virgin forget her jewelry,
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people have (E)forgotten Me
For days without number.
Jeremiah 2:30-32
King James Version
30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
31 O generation, see ye the word of the Lord. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
