Jeremiah 16:10-13

10“Now it will happen that, when you tell this people all these words, they will say to you, ‘1For what reason has the Lord declared all this great disaster against us? And what is our wrongdoing, or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’ 11Then you are to say to them, ‘It is 2because your forefathers have abandoned Me,’ declares the Lord, ‘and have followed 3other gods, and served and worshiped them; but they have abandoned Me and have not kept My Law. 12You too have done evil, even 4more than your forefathers; for behold, each one of you is following the 5stubbornness of his own 6evil heart, without listening to Me. 13So I will 7hurl you off this land to the 8land which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you will 9serve other gods day and night, because I will show you no compassion.’
