Jeremiah 2:33-35
New King James Version
33 “Why do you beautify your way to seek love?
Therefore you have also taught
The wicked women your ways.
34 Also on your skirts is found
(A)The blood of the lives of the poor innocents.
I have not found it by [a]secret search,
But plainly on all these things.
35 (B)Yet you say, ‘Because I am innocent,
Surely His anger shall turn from me.’
Behold, (C)I will plead My case against you,
(D)Because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’

Jeremiah 2:33-35
American Standard Version
33 How trimmest thou thy way to seek love! therefore even the wicked women hast thou taught thy ways. 34 Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor: [a]thou didst not find them breaking in; but it is because of all these things. 35 Yet thou saidst, I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
