Jeremiah 16:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ “Then say to them: ‘This is because your ancestors quit following me,’ says the Lord. ‘And they began to follow other gods. They served and worshiped other gods. Your ancestors left me. And they quit obeying my teaching. ¹² But you have done even more evil than your ancestors. You are very stubborn. You do only what you want to do. You have not obeyed me. ¹³ So I will throw you out of this country. You will go to a land that you and your ancestors never knew. There you can serve false gods day and night. I will not help you or show you any favors.’
