Jeremiah 2:32
A bride treasures all her life the girdle, which first indicated that she was a married woman, just as brides now treasure the wedding ring; but Israel, Yahweh' s bride Jeremiah 2:2, cherishes no fond memorials of past affection.
30 “In vain I have achastened your children;
They breceived no correction.
Your sword has cdevoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
They breceived no correction.
Your sword has cdevoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
31 “O generation, see the word of the Lord!
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
Or a land of darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘We1 are lords;
aWe will come no more to You’?
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
Or a land of darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘We1 are lords;
aWe will come no more to You’?
32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people ahave forgotten Me days without number.
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people ahave forgotten Me days without number.
33 “Why do you beautify your way to seek love?
Therefore you have also taught
The wicked women your ways.
Therefore you have also taught
The wicked women your ways.
34 Also on your skirts is found
aThe blood of the lives of the poor innocents.
I have not found it by1 secret search,
But plainly on all these things.
aThe blood of the lives of the poor innocents.
I have not found it by1 secret search,
But plainly on all these things.
