31. O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? a land of darkness? why say my people, We are lords; we will come no more to thee?
32. Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
33. Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
34. Also 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.
35. Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger will turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
36. Why dost thou go about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
37. Yes, thou shalt go forth from him, and thy hands upon thy head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.
