New International Version

Jeremiah 2:32-36 New International Version (NIV)

32. Does a young woman forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number.

33. How skilled you are at pursuing love! Even the worst of women can learn from your ways.

34. On your clothes is found the lifeblood of the innocent poor, though you did not catch them breaking in. Yet in spite of all this

35. you say, ‘I am innocent; he is not angry with me.’ But I will pass judgment on you because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’

36. Why do you go about so much, changing your ways? You will be disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria.
