Jeremiah 2:8

The Unfaithfulness Of Israel's Ancestors

⁷ Yea, I bring you in to a land of fruitful fields, To eat its fruit and its goodness, And ye come in and defile My land, And Mine inheritance have made an abomination. ⁸ The priests have not said, 'Where is Jehovah?' And those handling the law have not known Me. And the shepherds transgressed against Me, And the prophets have prophesied by Baal, And after those who profit not have gone. ⁹ Therefore, yet I plead with you, An affirmation of Jehovah, And with your sons' sons I plead.
