Jeremiah 2:31-33

New Century Version

Have I been like a desert to the people of Israel
    or like a dark and dangerous land?
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,
    and 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.
