Jeremías 2

Was schmückest du viel dein Tun, daß ich dir gnädig sein soll? Unter solchem Schein treibest du je mehr und mehr Bosheit.

Por demás he azotado vuestros hijos; no han recibido corrección. Cuchillo devoró vuestros profetas como león destrozador.

In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

“I have struck your children in vain. They received no correction. Your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
