Jeremiah 2:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ And I brought you into a plentiful land
    to enjoy its fruits and its good things.
But when you came in you defiled my land,
    and made my heritage an abomination.
⁸ The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’
    Those who handle the law did not know me;
the rulers^[a] transgressed against me;
    the prophets prophesied by Ba′al,
    and went after things that do not profit.
