← Jeremiah 2:30	Jeremiah 2:31 (KJV)	Jeremiah 2:32 →
In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.	O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?	Can a maid forget her ornaments, [or] a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
