Jeremiah 2:5-7

Names of God Bible

⁵ This is what Yahweh says:
    What did your ancestors find wrong with me
    that they went so far away from me?
    They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves.
⁶ They didn’t ask, “Where is Yahweh,
    who brought us from Egypt?
        He led us through the desert,
            through a wasteland and its pits,
                a land of drought and the shadow of death.
                    No one lives there or travels there.”
⁷         I brought them into a fertile land
            to eat its fruit and its produce.
                They came and made my land unclean.^[a]
                    They made my property disgusting.
