Jeremiah 2:30-32
New International Version

30 “In vain I punished your people;
    they did not respond to correction.(A)
Your sword has devoured your prophets(B)
    like a ravenous lion.

31 “You of this generation, consider the word of the Lord:

“Have I been a desert to Israel
    or a land of great darkness?(C)
Why do my people say, ‘We are free to roam;
    we will come to you no more’?(D)
32 Does a young woman forget her jewelry,
    a bride her wedding ornaments?
Yet my people have forgotten(E) me,
    days without number.

Jeremiah 2:30-32
Christian Standard Bible

30 I have struck down your children in vain;
they would not accept discipline.(A)
Your own sword has devoured your prophets(B)
like a ravaging lion.
31 Evil generation,(C)
pay attention to the word of the Lord!
Have I been a wilderness to Israel
or a land of dense darkness?(D)
Why do my people claim,
“We will go where we want;[a]
we will no longer come to you”?
32 Can a young woman forget her jewelry(E)
or a bride her wedding sash?
Yet my people have forgotten me(F)
for countless days.
