Jeremiah 2:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 They did not say, ‘Where is the Lord
Who (A)brought us up out of the land of Egypt,
Who (B)led us through the wilderness,
Through a land of deserts and of pits,
Through a land of drought and of [a]deep darkness,
Through a land that no one crossed
And where no person lived?’
7 I brought you into the (C)fruitful land
To eat its fruit and its good things.
But you came and (D)defiled My land,
And you made My inheritance an abomination.
8 The (E)priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’
And those who handle the Law (F)did not know Me;
The [b]rulers also revolted against Me,
And the (G)prophets prophesied by Baal
And walked after (H)things that were of no benefit.
