Jeremiah 2:4-8

4Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel. 5Thus says the Lord, “1What injustice did your fathers find in Me, That they went far from Me And walked after 2emptiness and became empty?6They did not say, ‘Where is the Lord Who 3brought us up out of the land of Egypt, Who 4led us through the wilderness, Through a land of deserts and of pits, Through a land of drought and of 5deep darkness, Through a land that no one crossed And where no man dwelt?’7I brought you into the 6fruitful land To eat its fruit and its good things. But you came and 7defiled My land, And My inheritance you made an abomination.8The 8priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’ And those who handle the law 9did not know Me; The 10rulers also transgressed against Me, And the 11prophets prophesied by Baal And walked after 12things that did not profit.
