Jeremiah 2:7-9

The Voice

⁷     I am the One who delivered you into this land of abundance
        to enjoy its fruits and many good things.
    But you have now taken the very land I gave you and defiled it.
        You have done a most disgusting thing with this gift I reserved only for you.
⁸     Even then, the priests didn’t think to say, “Where is the Eternal One?”
        Those who understand and teach the law act as if they’ve never known Me.
    The rulers also have moved against Me.
        Even the so-called prophets spoke in the name of Baal
        and pursued worthless idols in their vain attempt for greater prosperity.
