29Wherefore will ye contend with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith Jehovah.
30In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
31O generation, see ye the word of Jehovah. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? or a land of thick darkness? wherefore say my people, We are broken loose; we will come no more unto thee?
32Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
33How trimmest thou thy way to seek love! therefore even the wicked women hast thou taught thy ways.
34Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor: thou didst not find them breaking in; but it is because of all these things.
35Yet thou saidst, I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
