³⁰ “I have struck your children in vain.
    They received no correction.
Your own sword has devoured your prophets,
    like a destroying lion.
³¹ Generation, consider Yahweh’s word.
    Have I been a wilderness to Israel?
    Or a land of thick darkness?
Why do my people say, ‘We have broken loose.
    We will come to you no more’?
³² “Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
    or a bride her attire?
    Yet my people have forgotten me for days without number.
