Jeremiah 2:31-33

Complete Jewish Bible

³¹ You of this generation,
look at the word of Adonai:
Have I been a desert to Isra’el?
or a land of oppressive darkness?
Why do my people say, ‘We’re free to roam,
we will no longer come to you’?
³² Does a girl forget her jewellery,
or a bride her wedding sash?
Yet my people have forgotten me,
days beyond numbering.
³³ You are so clever in your search for love
that the worst of women can learn from you!
