Jeremiah 2:31-33

International Standard Version

³¹ “You, generation,
    pay attention to^[a] this message from the Lord!
Am I the desert to Israel,
    or a land of gloom?
Why do my people say, ‘We’re free to roam?
    We won’t come to you anymore.’
³² Will a young woman forget her wedding^[b] ornaments,
    or a bride her attire?
But my people have forgotten me
    days without number.
³³ How well you perfect your techniques^[c] for seeking love.
    Therefore you can teach even the most immoral women^[d] your techniques.^[e]
