Jeremiah 2:30-31
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 2

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

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

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

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

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

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

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’?
