Jeremiah 2:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ I brought you into a land of plenty,
    to enjoy its gifts and goodness,
        but you ruined my land;
        you disgraced my heritage.
⁸ The priests didn’t ask,
    “Where’s the Lord?”
Those responsible for the Instruction didn’t know me;
    the leaders rebelled against me;
    the prophets spoke in the name of Baal,
        going after what has no value.
⁹ That is why I will take you to court
    and charge even your descendants,
        declares the Lord.
