Jeremiah 2:30-32
Legacy Standard Bible
30 “(A)In vain I have struck your sons;
They received no discipline.
Your (B)sword has devoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
31 O generation, [a]behold the word of Yahweh.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel
Or a (C)land of thick darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘(D)We are free to roam;
We will no longer come to You’?
32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people have (E)forgotten Me
Days without number.

30 “I’ve punished your children with no results,[a]
they have accepted no discipline.
Your sword has devoured your prophets
like a destroying lion.”
31 “You, generation,
pay attention to[b] this message from the Lord!
Am I the desert to Israel,
or a land of gloom?
Why do my people say, ‘We’re free to roam?
We won’t come to you anymore.’
32 Will a young woman forget her wedding[c] ornaments,
or a bride her attire?
But my people have forgotten me
