24:002:029 Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD.
24:002:030 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no
correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a
destroying lion.
24:002:031 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?
24:002:032 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my
people have forgotten me days without number.
24:002:033 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou
also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
24:002:034 Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor
innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all
these.
24:002:035 Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall
turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou
sayest, I have not sinned.
24:002:036 Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
24:002:037 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.
24:003:001 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
