Jeremiah 16:12

Abandoning The Lord And His Law

¹¹ Then you will answer them: Because your fathers abandoned Me”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“and followed other gods, served them, and worshiped them. Indeed, they abandoned Me and did not keep My instruction. ¹² You did more evil than your fathers. Look, each one of you was following the stubbornness of his evil heart, not obeying Me. ¹³ So I will hurl you from this land into a land that you and your fathers are not familiar with. There you will worship other gods both day and night, for I will not grant you grace.
