The LORD’s word “Why will you contend with me?” and “You will be ashamed of Egypt also”
"너희가 나와 다툼은 어찜이뇨" 하고 애굽으로 인하여 수치를 당하리라 하신 여호와의 말씀
Jeremiah 2:29–37: “Why will you contend with me? You all have transgressed against me,” says the LORD. “I have struck your children in vain. They received no correction. Your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion. Generation, consider the LORD’s word. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? Or a land of thick darkness? Why do my people say, ‘We have broken loose. We will come to you no more’? “Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me for days without number. How well you prepare your way to seek love! Therefore you have even taught the wicked women your ways. Also the blood of the souls of the innocent poor is found in your skirts. You didn’t find them breaking in, but it is because of all these things. “Yet you said, ‘I am innocent. Surely his anger has turned away from me.’ “Behold, I will judge you, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’ Why do you go about so much to change your ways? You will be ashamed of Egypt also, as you were ashamed of Assyria. You will also leave that place with your hands on your head; for the LORD has rejected those in whom you trust, and you won’t prosper with them.” WEB closes the words at 2:29 with “says the LORD”, opens them again at 2:30, opens them once more at 2:32 and twice at 2:35 without closing them first, and does not close them at the end of 2:37. The Korean Revised Version opens 2:29 with the formula (나 여호와가 말하노라), gives 2:33 as a question (네가 어찌 사랑을 얻으려고 네 행위를 아름답게 꾸미느냐), and at 2:37 has the LORD speak in the first person (나 여호와가 버렸으므로) where WEB reads “the LORD has rejected”.
