30 “In vain I have struck your sons;
They received no discipline.
Your sword has devoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
31 O generation, behold the word of Yahweh.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel
Or a land of thick darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘We are free to roam;
We will no longer come to You’?
32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people have forgotten Me
Days without number.
