Jeremiah 2:30-32
Living Bible

30 I have punished your children, but it did them no good; they still will not obey. And you yourselves have killed my prophets as a lion kills its prey.

31 O my people, listen to the words of God: Have I been unjust to Israel? Have I been to them a land of darkness and of evil? Why then do my people say, “At last we are free from God; we won’t have anything to do with him again!” 32 How can you disown your God like that?[a] Can a girl forget her jewels? What bride will seek to hide her wedding dress? Yet for years on end my people have forgotten me—the most precious of their treasures.

Jeremiah 2:30-32
New International Version

30 “In vain I punished your people;
    they did not respond to correction.(A)
Your sword has devoured your prophets(B)
    like a ravenous lion.

31 “You of this generation, consider the word of the Lord:

“Have I been a desert to Israel
    or a land of great darkness?(C)
Why do my people say, ‘We are free to roam;
    we will come to you no more’?(D)
32 Does a young woman forget her jewelry,
    a bride her wedding ornaments?
Yet my people have forgotten(E) me,
    days without number.
