Jeremiah 9:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Who is [a]wise to understand this? and to whom the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, even he shall declare it. Why doth the land perish, and is burnt up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?
13 And the Lord saith, because they have forsaken my Law, which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked thereafter,
14 But have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after Baal, which [b]their fathers taught them.
