Comparisons of Israel – 3

6. A comely, delicate woman:

“And when you are plundered,
 What will you do?
 Though you clothe yourself with crimson,
 Though you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold,
 Though you enlarge your eyes with paint,
 In vain you will make yourself fair;
 Your lovers will despise you;
 They will seek your life.
  “For I have heard a voice as of a woman in labor,
 The anguish as of her who brings forth her first child,
 The voice of the daughter of Zion bewailing herself;
 She spreads her hands, saying,
 ‘Woe is me now, for my soul is weary
 Because of murderers!’

Jeremiah 31:32
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord.

7. The daughter  of my people

Jeremiah 8:11
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people slightly,
 Saying, ‘Peace, peace!’
 When there is no peace.
