Jeremiah 9:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² I said,

‘Nobody is wise enough to understand this. The Lord has not told anyone, so that he can explain it to others. Why has our land become like a desert so that nobody travels through it? Does anyone know the answer?’

¹³ The Lord answered, ‘It is because my people have not accepted the laws that I gave to them. They have not obeyed me. They have not lived in the way that I told them to live. ¹⁴ Instead, they have done whatever they wanted to do. They have served the gods of Baal, as their ancestors taught them to do.’
