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’?

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.
35 aYet you say, ‘Because I am innocent,
Surely His anger shall turn from me.’
Behold, bI will plead My case against you,
cBecause you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
Surely His anger shall turn from me.’
Behold, bI will plead My case against you,
cBecause you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
