30. In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
31. O generation, see you the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? why say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto you?
32. Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
33. Why beautify your way to seek love? therefore have you also taught the wicked ones your ways.
