Jeremiah 2:29
Berean Standard Bible
Why do you bring a case against Me? You have all rebelled against Me,” declares the LORD.
Context
27say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their backs to Me
and not their faces,
yet in the time of trouble they beg,
‘Rise up and save us!’ 28But where are the gods you made for yourselves?
Let them rise up in your time of trouble
and save you if they can;
for your gods are as numerous
as your cities, O Judah. 29Why do you bring a case against Me?
You have all rebelled against Me,”
declares the LORD. 30“I have struck your sons in vain;
they accepted no discipline.
Your own sword has devoured your prophets
like a voracious lion.” 31You people of this generation, consider the word of the LORD:
“Have I been a wilderness to Israel
or a land of dense darkness?
Why do My people say,
‘We are free to roam;
we will come to You no more’?
