Jeremiah 2:5-7

New American Standard Bible 1995

“^(A)What injustice did your fathers find in Me,
That they went far from Me
And walked after ^(B)emptiness and became empty?
⁶ “They did not say, ‘Where is the Lord
Who ^(C)brought us up out of the land of Egypt,
Who ^(D)led us through the wilderness,
Through a land of deserts and of pits,
Through a land of drought and of ^[a]deep darkness,
Through a land that no one crossed
And where no man dwelt?’
⁷ “I brought you into the ^(E)fruitful land
To eat its fruit and its good things.
But you came and ^(F)defiled My land,
And My inheritance you made an abomination.
