Jeremiah 2:33-35
Holman Christian Standard Bible
33 How skillfully you pursue love;
you also teach evil women your ways.
34 Moreover, your skirts are stained
with the blood of the innocent poor.(A)
You did not catch them breaking and entering.(B)
But in spite of all these things
35 you claim, “I am innocent.(C)
His anger is sure to turn away from me.”
But I will certainly judge you
because you have said, “I have not sinned.”(D)
Jeremiah 2:33-35
Common English Bible
33 So skilled are you at pursuing lovers[a]
that you instruct even the most wicked.[b]
34 Your garments are stained
with the blood of the innocent poor,
even though you didn’t catch them
breaking and entering.
Yet, despite all this,[c] 35 you still insist,
“I’m innocent;
as a result he will turn his anger away from me.”
Because you claim not to have sinned,
I will pass judgment against you.
