Jeremiah 5:18-20

New Catholic Bible

^18 [a]Yet even in those days, declares the Lord, I will not completely destroy you. ¹⁹ And when the people ask, “Why has the Lord, our God, done all this to us?” reply to them, “As you have forsaken the Lord and served alien gods in your own land, so you will serve strangers in a land that is not yours.”
