Jer.2.30

"I've wasted my time trying to train your children. They've paid no attention to me, ignored my discipline. And you've gotten rid of your God-messengers, treating them like dirt and sweeping them away.

Jer.2.30

"In vain I punished your people; they did not respond to correction. Your sword has devoured your prophets like a ravening lion.

Jer.2.30

"In vain I have chastened your children; They received no correction. Your sword has devoured your prophets Like a destroying lion.

Jer.2.30

I have punished your children, but it did them no good. They still refuse to obey. You yourselves have killed your prophets as a lion kills its prey.
