Jeremiah 2:4-6

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁴ Hear the word of the Lord, house of Jacob
and all families of the house of Israel.
⁵ This is what the Lord says:

What fault did your ancestors find in me^(A)
that they went so far from me,
followed worthless idols,^(B)
and became worthless themselves?^(C)
6 They stopped asking, ‘Where is the Lord^(D)
who brought us from the land of Egypt,
who led us through the wilderness,^(E)
through a land of deserts and ravines,
through a land of drought and darkness,^[a]
a land no one travelled through
and where no one lived? ’
