Jeremiah 4:30
4:30 And you, Zion, city doomed to destruction,
you accomplish nothing by wearing a beautiful dress,
decking yourself out in jewels of gold,
and putting on eye shadow!
You are making yourself beautiful for nothing.
Your lovers spurn you.
They want to kill you.
Jeremiah 42:2
42:2 They said to him, “Please grant our request
and pray to the
Lord your God for all those of us who are still left alive here.
For, as you yourself can see, there are only a few of us left out of the many there were before.
