Jeremiah 2:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ I brought you into a fertile land
    bursting forth with fruit and rich produce.
But when you entered, you defiled my land
    and made my heritage loathsome.
⁸ The priests did not ask,
    “Where is the Lord?”
Those who dealt with the law did not know me,
    and even the shepherds rebelled against me.
The prophets prophesied by Baal
    and worshiped gods who were powerless.
⁹ Therefore, says the Lord,
    I will once again accuse you,
and I will further accuse
    even your children’s children.
