Jeremiah 2:29-31

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁹ Why will you contend with me in judgement? you have all forsaken me, saith the Lord.

³⁰ In vain have I struck your children, they have not received correction: your sword hath devoured your prophets, your generation is like a ravaging lion.

³¹ See ye the word of the Lord: Am I become a wilderness to Israel, or a lateward springing land? why then have my people said: We are revolted, we will come to thee no more.
