Can a maid forget her ornaments, [or] a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number (2:32) Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways (2:33) Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these (2:34) 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 (2:35) Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria (2:36) Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the Lord hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them
(2:37)
