Jeremiah 2:33-35
English Standard Version
33 “How well you direct your course
to seek love!
So that even to wicked women
you have taught your ways.
34 Also on your skirts is found
(A)the lifeblood of the guiltless poor;
you did not find them (B)breaking in.
Yet in spite of all these things
35 you say, ‘I am innocent;
surely his anger has turned from me.’
(C)Behold, I will bring you to judgment
for (D)saying, ‘I have not sinned.’
Jeremiah 2:33-35
International Standard Version
33 How well you perfect your techniques[a] for seeking love.
Therefore you can teach even the most immoral women[b] your techniques.[c]
34 On your skirts is found the lifeblood of the innocent poor,
even though you didn’t catch them breaking in.
Yet despite all these things,
35 you say, ‘I’m innocent.
Surely his anger has turned away from me.’”
“I’m about to bring charges against you[d]
because you say, ‘I haven’t sinned.’
