Jeremiah 2:29-31
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 2

29'Why do you contend with Me? You have all revolted against Me,' declares the Lord. 30'In vain I have struck your sons; They did not accept discipline. Your sword has devoured your prophets Like a destroying lion. 31You generation, look to the word of the Lord. 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’?
King James Version

Chapter 2

29Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the Lord.
30In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
31O generation, see ye the word of the Lord. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 2

29Why do you bring a case against me? All of you have rebelled against me. This is the Lord’s declaration. 30I have struck down your children in vain; they would not accept discipline. Your own sword has devoured your prophets like a ravaging lion. 31Evil generation, pay attention to the word of the Lord! Have I been a wilderness to Israel or a land of dense darkness? Why do my people claim, "We will go where we want; we will no longer come to you"?
New Living Translation

Chapter 2

29Why do you accuse me of doing wrong? You are the ones who have rebelled,' says the Lord. 30'I have punished your children, but they did not respond to my discipline. You yourselves have killed your prophets as a lion kills its prey.
31'O my people, listen to the words of the Lord! Have I been like a desert to Israel? Have I been to them a land of darkness? Why then do my people say, ‘At last we are free from God! We don’t need him anymore!’
English Standard Version

Chapter 2

29"Why do you contend with me? You have all transgressed against me, declares the Lord. 30In vain have I struck your children; they took no correction; your own sword devoured your prophets like a ravening lion. 31And you, O generation, behold the word of the Lord. Have I been a wilderness to Israel, or a land of thick darkness? Why then do my people say, ‘We are free, we will come no more to you’?
New International Version

Chapter 2

29"Why do you bring charges against me? You have all rebelled against me," declares the Lord. 30"In vain I punished your people; they did not respond to correction. Your sword has devoured your prophets like a ravenous lion.
31"You of this generation, consider the word of the Lord: "Have I been a desert to Israel or a land of great darkness? Why do my people say, ‘We are free to roam; we will come to you no more’?
New King James Version

Chapter 2

29“Why will you plead with Me? You all have transgressed against Me,” says the Lord. 30“In vain I have chastened your children; They received no correction. Your sword has devoured 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, ‘We are lords; We will come no more to You’?
