Jeremiah 2:29-31

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁹ “Why do you complain about me?
All of you have rebelled against me,” declares the Lord.
³⁰ “I have punished your children without results.
They didn’t respond to correction.
You killed my prophets like a raging lion.

³¹ “Consider the Lord’s word, people of this generation.
Haven’t I been a desert, a land of thick darkness, for Israel?
Why do my people say that they are free to wander around
and no longer come to me?
