Jeremiah 2:30-32

Tree of Life Version

³⁰ “In vain I struck your children.
        They took no correction.
    Your sword devoured your prophets
        like a ravaging lion.”
³¹ You, generation, heed Adonai’s word!
    “Have I been a wilderness to Israel
        or a land of thick darkness?
    Why do My people say, ‘We are free to roam.
        We won’t come to You any more’?
³² Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
        or a bride her attire?
    Yet My people have forgotten Me,
        days without number.
