Jeremiah 2:30-32

Contemporary English Version

³¹ Now listen to what I say!
Did I abandon you in the desert
    or surround you with darkness?
You are my people,
    yet you have told me,
“We'll do what we want,
and we refuse
    to worship you!”
³² A bride could not forget
to wear her jewelry
    to her wedding,
but you have forgotten me
    day after day.
