Jeremiah 16:11-13

New Century Version

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