Jeremiah 9:12-14

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹² Who is the man wise enough to understand this?^(A) Who has the Lord spoken to, that he may explain it? Why is the land destroyed and scorched like a wilderness, so no one can pass through?

¹³ The Lord said, “It is because they abandoned My instruction^(B) that I set in front of them and did not obey My voice or walk according to it. ¹⁴ Instead, they followed the stubbornness of their hearts^(C) and followed after the Baals as their fathers taught them.”^(D)
