Jeremiah 2:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ I brought them into a fertile land,
    to enjoy its harvests and its other good things.
But instead they ruined my land;
    they defiled the country I had given them.
⁸ The priests did not ask, ‘Where is the Lord?’
    My own priests did not know me.
The rulers rebelled against me;
    the prophets spoke in the name of Baal
    and worshiped useless idols.

⁹ “And so I, the Lord, will state my case against my people again.
I will bring charges against their descendants.
