Jeremiah 2:4-8
4Hear the word of Yahweh, O house of Jacob and all the families of the house of Israel. 5Thus says Yahweh, “aWhat injustice did your fathers find in Me,That they went far from MeAnd walked after bvanity and became vain?
6“They did not say, ‘Where is YahwehWho abrought us up out of the land of Egypt,Who bled us through the wilderness,Through a land of deserts and of pits,Through a land of drought and of the shadow of death,Through a land that no one crossedAnd where no man inhabited?’7“I brought you into the afruitful landTo eat its fruit and its good things.But you came and bdefiled My land,And My inheritance you made an abomination.8“The apriests did not say, ‘Where is Yahweh?’And those who handle the law bdid not know Me;The 1shepherds also transgressed against Me,And the cprophets prophesied by BaalAnd walked after dthings that did not profit.
