Jeremiah 2:31-33

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³¹ And you, O generation, heed the word of the Lord.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
    or a land of thick darkness?
Why then do my people say, ‘We are free,
    we will come no more to thee’?
³² Can a maiden forget her ornaments,
    or a bride her attire?
Yet my people have forgotten me
    days without number.
