Israel Deserves To Be Punished

31 O generation see, ye, the word of Yahweh, A desert, became I unto Israel? Or a land of thick darkness? Wherefore, have my people said, We have roved about, We will not come in any more unto thee? 32 Can, a virgin, forget, her ornaments, - A bride, her girdle? Yet, my people, have forgotten me, days without number. 33 How thou dost make winsome thy way, to seek love! Therefore, even unto wicked women, hast thou taught thy ways.
