Jeremiah 2:31-33

International Children’s Bible

Have I been like a desert to the people of Israel?
    Have I been like a dark and dangerous land to them?
Why do my people say, ‘We are free to wander.
    We won’t come to you anymore’?
³² A young woman does not forget her jewelry.
    A bride does not forget the decorations for her dress.
But my people have forgotten me
    for more days than can be counted!
³³ You really know how to chase after love.
    Even the worst women can learn evil ways from you.
