[25] Withhold thy foot from being unshod, from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after [26] As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, [27] Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us. [28] But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah. [29] Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD. [30] In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion. [31] O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come [32] Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. [33] Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways. [34] Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, [35] 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.
