Jeremiah 2:32-36
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
32Can a virgin forget her jewelry, Or a bride her attire? Yet My people have forgotten Me For days without number. 33How well you prepare your way To seek love! Therefore even to the wicked women You have taught your ways. 34Also on your skirts is found The lifeblood of the innocent poor; You did not find them breaking in. But in spite of all these things, 35You said, ‘I am innocent; Surely His anger is turned away from me.’ Behold, I will enter into judgment with you Because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’ 36Why do you go around so much Changing your way? Also, you will be put to shame by Egypt, Just as you were put to shame by Assyria.King James Version
Chapter 2
32Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. 33Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways. 34Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these. 35Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned. 36Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
32Can a young woman forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding sash? Yet my people have forgotten me for countless days. 33How skillfully you pursue love; you also teach evil women your ways. 34Moreover, your skirts are stained with the blood of the innocent poor. You did not catch them breaking and entering. But in spite of all these things 35you claim, "I am innocent. His anger is sure to turn away from me." But I will certainly judge you because you have said, "I have not sinned." 36How unstable you are, constantly changing your ways! You will be put to shame by Egypt just as you were put to shame by Assyria.New Living Translation
33'How you plot and scheme to win your lovers. Even an experienced prostitute could learn from you!
34Your clothing is stained with the blood of the innocent and the poor, though you didn’t catch them breaking into your houses!
35And yet you say, ‘I have done nothing wrong. Surely God isn’t angry with me!’ But now I will punish you severely because you claim you have not sinned.
36First here, then there — you flit from one ally to another asking for help. But your new friends in Egypt will let you down, just as Assyria did before.

Chapter 2
32Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me days without number. 33“How well you direct your course to seek love! So that even to wicked women you have taught your ways. 34Also on your skirts is found the lifeblood of the guiltless poor; you did not find them breaking in. Yet in spite of all these things 35you say, ‘I am innocent; surely his anger has turned from me.’ Behold, I will bring you to judgment for saying, ‘I have not sinned.’ 36How much you go about, changing your way! You shall be put to shame by Egypt as you were put to shame by Assyria.New International Version
Chapter 2
32Does a young woman forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number. 33How skilled you are at pursuing love! Even the worst of women can learn from your ways. 34On your clothes is found the lifeblood of the innocent poor, though you did not catch them breaking in. Yet in spite of all this 35you say, 'I am innocent; he is not angry with me.' But I will pass judgment on you because you say, 'I have not sinned.' 36Why do you go about so much, changing your ways? You will be disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria.New King James Version
