Jeremiah 2:33-35

New American Standard Bible

³³How well you prepare your way
To seek love!
Therefore even to the wicked women
You have taught your ways.
³⁴Also on your skirts is found
The ^(A)lifeblood of the innocent poor;
You did not find them ^(B)breaking in.
But in spite of all these things,
³⁵You said, ‘I am innocent;
Surely His anger is turned away from me.’
Behold, I will ^(C)enter into judgment with you
Because you ^(D)say, ‘I have not sinned.’
