Jeremiah 2:30-32
Authorized (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.
Jeremiah 2:30-32
21st Century 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? Why 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.
