31 Now listen to what I say!Did I abandon you in the desertor surround you with darkness?You are my people,yet you have told me,“We'll do what we want,and we refuseto worship you!”
32 A bride could not forgetto wear her jewelleryto her wedding,but you have forgotten meday after day.
33 You are so cleverat finding loversthat you could give lessonsto a prostitute.
34 You killed innocent peoplefor no reason at all.And even though their bloodcan be seen on your clothes,
35 you claim to be innocent,and you want me to stopbeing angry with you.So I'll take you to court,and we'll see who is right.
36 When Assyria let you down,you ran to Egypt,but you'll find no help there,
37 and you will leavein great sadness.I won't let you find helpfrom those you trust.
