Jeremiah 2:33-35

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³³ Why dost thou endeavour to shew thy way good to seek my love, thou who has also taught thy malices to be thy ways,

³⁴ And in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor and innocent? not in ditches have I found them, but in all places, which I mentioned before.

³⁵ And thou hast said: I am without sin and am innocent: and therefore let thy anger be turned away from me. Behold, I will contend with thee in judgement, because thou hast said: I have not sinned.
