Jeremiah 2:31 Context
29Wherefore will yee plead with me? yee all haue transgressed against me, saith the Lord. 30In vaine haue I smitten your children, they receiued no correction: your owne sword hath deuoured your prophets, like a destroying lyon. 31¶ O generation, see yee the word of the Lord: haue I beene a wildernesse vnto Israel? a land of darkenesse? wherefore say my people; We are Lords, we will come no more vnto thee? 32Can a maide forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people haue forgotten me dayes without number. 33Why trimmest thou thy way to seeke loue? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy wayes.
