Jeremiah 2:7

4 Hear the LORD’s word, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel!

7 I brought you into a plentiful land to eat its fruit and its goodness; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.

8 The priests didn’t say, ‘Where is the LORD?’ and those who handle the law didn’t know me. The rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal and followed things that do not profit.

9 “Therefore I will yet contend with you,” says the LORD, “and I will contend with your children’s children.

10 For pass over to the islands of Kittim, and see. Send to Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there has been such a thing.
