Jeremiah 16:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ then you should tell them: It’s because your ancestors have deserted me and followed other gods, declares the Lord. They have served and worshipped them, while abandoning me and refusing to keep my Instruction. ¹² And you, you have acted worse than your ancestors, each of you following your own willful, evil hearts and paying no attention to me. ¹³ So I will banish you from this land to a place that neither you nor your ancestors have known, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no mercy.
