Jeremiah 2:5

The Unfaithfulness Of Israel's Ancestors

⁴ Hear a word of Jehovah, O house of Jacob, And all ye families of the house of Israel. ⁵ Thus said Jehovah: What -- have your fathers found in Me perversity, That they have gone far off from Me, And go after the vanity, and become vain, ⁶ And have not said, Where is Jehovah, Who bringeth us up out of the land of Egypt, Who leadeth us in a wilderness, In a land of deserts and pits, In a dry land, and of death-shade, In a land -- none hath passed through it, Nor dwelt hath man there?'
