Jeremiah 2:31-33

Easy-to-Read Version

“Have I been like a desert to the people of Israel?
    Have I been like a dark and dangerous land to them?
My people say, ‘We are free to go our own way.
    We will not come back to you!’
    Why do they say these things?
³² A young woman does not forget her jewelry.
    A bride does not forget to wear her wedding dress.
But my people have forgotten me
    too many times to count.

³³ “Judah, you have become so good at finding lovers.
    Even the worst women could learn some evil ways from you.
