Jeremiah 2:30-32
Lexham English Bible
30 “For in vain[a] I have struck your children.
They accepted no discipline.
Your sword devoured your prophets,
like a ravening[b] lion.
31 O generation, you see the word of Yahweh.
Have I been a desert[c] to Israel? Or a land of great darkness?
Why do my people say, ‘We roam about freely,
we will not come again to you’?
32 Can a young woman forget her ornaments?[d] Or a bride her sashes?
Yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
