New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Jeremiah 2
30 "In vain I have struck your sons; They accepted no chastening. Your sword has devoured your prophets Like a destroying lion.
31 "O generation, heed the word of the Lord. Have I been a wilderness to Israel, Or a land of thick darkness? Why do My people say, ’We are free to roam; We will no longer come to You’?
32 "Can a virgin forget her ornaments, Or a bride her attire? Yet My people have forgotten Me Days without number.
33 "How well you prepare your way To seek love! Therefore even the wicked women You have taught your ways.
34 "Also on your skirts is found The lifeblood of the innocent poor; You did not find them breaking in. But in spite of all these things,
35 Yet you said, ’I am innocent; Surely His anger is turned away from me.’ Behold, I will enter into judgment with you Because you say, ’I have not sinned.’
36 "Why do you go around so much Changing your way? Also, you will be put to shame by Egypt As you were put to shame by Assyria.
37 "From this place also you will go out With your hands on your head; For the Lord has rejected those in whom you trust, And you will not prosper with them."
Jeremiah 3
1 God says, "If a husband divorces his wife And she goes from him And belongs to another man, Will he still return to her? Will not that land be completely polluted? But you are a harlot with many lovers; Yet you turn to Me," declares the Lord.
2 "Lift up your eyes to the bare heights and see; Where have you not been violated? By the roads you have sat for them Like an Arab in the desert, And you have polluted a land With your harlotry and with your wickedness.
3 "Therefore the showers have been withheld, And there has been no spring rain. Yet you had a harlot’s forehead; You refused to be ashamed.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
