Jeremiah 2:31 -

“O generation [that you are], consider and regard carefully the word of the LORD.

Have I been a wilderness to Israel [like a land without food],

A land of thick and deep darkness [like a path without light]?

Why do My people say, ‘We [have broken loose and we] are free to roam [at will];

We will no longer come to You’?
