Jeremiah 2:31-33
Lexham English Bible
Jeremiah 2:31-33
Lexham English Bible
31 O generation, you see the word of Yahweh.
Have I been a desert[a] to Israel? Or a land of great darkness?
Why do my people say, ‘We roam about freely,
we will not come again to you’?
32 Can a young woman forget her ornaments?[b] Or a bride her sashes?
Yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
33 How well you do on your way to seek love!
Therefore[c] even to the wicked woman you can teach your ways.
