Jeremiah 2:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ I brought you into a fertile land.
    I did this so you could eat its fruit and produce.
But you came and made my land unclean.
    You made it a hated place.
⁸ The priests didn’t ask,
    ‘Where is the Lord?’
The people who know the teachings didn’t know me.
    The leaders turned against me.
The prophets prophesied in the name of Baal.
    They worshiped useless idols.
