Jeremiah 2:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

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.
⁸ The priests didn’t ask, “Where is the Lord?”
Those who deal with my teachings didn’t know me.
The rulers rebelled against me.
The prophets prophesied in the name of Baal
and followed statues that couldn’t help them.
