* Wherefore will ye plead with me ? ye all have transgressed against me , saith the LORD . * In vain have I smitten your children ; they received no correction : your own sword hath devoured your prophets , like a destroying lion . * O generation , see ye the word of the LORD . Have I been a wilderness unto Israel Yisra #el #? a land of darkness ma #phel @yah #? wherefore say my people , We are lords ; we will come no more unto thee ? * Can a maid forget her ornaments , or a bride her attire ? yet my people have forgotten me days without number . * Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love ? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways . * 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 . * Yet 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 . * Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way ? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt , as thou wast ashamed of Assyria . * Yea , thou shalt go forth from him , and thine hands upon thine head ro #sh #: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences , and thou shalt not prosper in them .
