World English Bible
Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
31 Generation, see the word of Yahweh. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? or a land of thick darkness? why say my people, We are broken loose; 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 How trimmest you your way to seek love! therefore even the wicked women have you taught your ways.
34 Also in your skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor: you did not find them breaking in; but it is because of all these things.
35 Yet you said, I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with you, because you say, I have not sinned.
36 Why go you about so much to change your way? you shall be ashamed of Egypt also, as you were ashamed of Assyria.
37 From there also shall you go forth, with your hands on your head: for Yahweh has rejected those in whom you trust, and you shall not prosper with them.
