Jeremiah 2:29-37

Common English Bible CEB

29 Why would you bring charges against me? You have all rebelled against me, declares the LORD.

30 I have disciplined your children in vain; they have rejected my correction. You have devoured your prophets like a hungry lion.

31 People of this generation, listen closely to the LORD's word: Have I been a wasteland to Israel or a land of dense darkness? Why then do my people say, "We have wandered far away; we'll come to you no longer"?

32 Does a young woman forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding dress? Yet you have forgotten me days without end!

33 So skilled are you at pursuing lovers that you instruct even the most wicked.

34 Your garments are stained with the blood of the innocent poor, even though you didn't catch them breaking and entering. Yet, despite all this,

35 you still insist, "I'm innocent; as a result he will turn his anger away from me." Because you claim not to have sinned, I will pass judgment against you.

36 You change sides so casually! But Egypt will shame you no less than Assyria.

37 From there you will go out with your hands on your heads, because the LORD has rejected those you rely on; they won't help you.

New International Version NIV

29 “Why do you bring charges against me? You have all rebelled against me,” declares the LORD.

30 “In vain I punished your people; they did not respond to correction. Your sword has devoured your prophets 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? Why do my people say, ‘We are free to roam; we will come to you no more’?

32 Does a young woman forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number.

33 How skilled you are at pursuing love! Even the worst of women can learn from your ways.

34 On your clothes is found the lifeblood of the innocent poor, though you did not catch them breaking in. Yet in spite of all this

35 you say, ‘I am innocent; he is not angry with me.’ But I will pass judgment on you because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’

36 Why do you go about so much, changing your ways? You will be disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria.

37 You will also leave that place with your hands on your head, for the LORD has rejected those you trust; you will not be helped by them.
