Jeremiah 3:24

For confusion hath deuoured our fathers labour, from our youth their sheepe and their bullocks, their sonnes and their daughters.

Geneva Bible 1599

In The King James Version

For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

In Context

23Truely the hope of the hilles is but vaine, nor the multitude of mountaines: but in the Lord our God is the health of Israel.

25Wee lie downe in our confusion, and our shame couereth vs: for we haue sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers from our youth, euen vnto this day, and haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord our God.
