Jeremiah 2:33-35
New Living Translation
33 “How you plot and scheme to win your lovers.
Even an experienced prostitute could learn from you!
34 Your clothing is stained with the blood of the innocent and the poor,
though you didn’t catch them breaking into your houses!
35 And yet you say,
‘I have done nothing wrong.
Surely God isn’t angry with me!’
But now I will punish you severely
because you claim you 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.’
