New King James Version (NKJV)
Jeremiah 2
29 "Why will you plead with Me? You all have transgressed against Me," says the Lord.
30 "In vain I have chastened your children; They received no correction. Your sword has devoured your prophets Like a destroying lion.
31 "O generation, see the word of the Lord! Have I been a wilderness to Israel, Or a land of darkness? Why do My people say, ’We are lords; We will come no more to You’?
32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments, Or a bride her attire? Yet My people have forgotten Me days without number.
33 "Why do you beautify your way to seek love? Therefore you have also taught The wicked women your ways.
34 Also on your skirts is found The blood of the lives of the poor innocents. I have not found it by secret search, But plainly on all these things.
35 Yet you say, ’Because I am innocent, Surely His anger shall turn from me.’ Behold, I will plead My case against you, Because you say, ’I have not sinned.’
36 Why do you gad about so much to change your way? Also you shall be ashamed of Egypt as you were ashamed of Assyria.
37 Indeed you will go forth from him With your hands on your head; For the Lord has rejected your trusted allies, And you will not prosper by them.
Jeremiah 3
1 "They say, ’If a man divorces his wife, And she goes from him And becomes another man’s, May he return to her again?’ Would not that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the harlot with many lovers; Yet return to Me," says the Lord.
2 "Lift up your eyes to the desolate heights and see: Where have you not lain with men? By the road you have sat for them Like an Arabian in the wilderness; And you have polluted the land With your harlotries and your wickedness.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
