Jeremías 2

In vain, have I smitten your children, Correction, have they not accepted,—Your sword hath devoured your prophets, as a lion that destroyeth.

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.
