Jeremiah 2:33-35
English Standard Version
33 “How well you direct your course
to seek love!
So that even to wicked women
you have taught your ways.
34 Also on your skirts is found
(A)the lifeblood of the guiltless poor;
you did not find them (B)breaking in.
Yet in spite of all these things
35 you say, ‘I am innocent;
surely his anger has turned from me.’
(C)Behold, I will bring you to judgment
for (D)saying, ‘I have not sinned.’
Jeremiah 2:33-35
Common English Bible
Jeremiah 2:33-35
Common English Bible
33 So skilled are you at pursuing lovers[a]
that you instruct even the most wicked.[b]
34 Your garments are stained
with the blood of the innocent poor,
even though you didn’t catch them
breaking and entering.
Yet, despite all this,[c] 35 you still insist,
“I’m innocent;
as a result he will turn his anger away from me.”
Because you claim not to have sinned,
I will pass judgment against you.
