Jeremiah 2:31-35

Evil generation,  pay attention to the word of the  Lord! Have I been a wilderness to Israel or a land of dense darkness?  Why do my people claim, “We will go where we want;  we will no longer come to you”? Can a young woman forget her jewelry  or a bride her wedding sash? Yet my people have forgotten me  for countless days. How skillfully you pursue love; you also teach evil women your ways. Moreover, your skirts are stained with the blood of the innocent poor.  You did not catch them breaking and entering.  But in spite of all these things you claim, “I am innocent.  His anger is sure to turn away from me.” But I will certainly judge you because you have said, “I have not sinned.”
