The house of Israel and the house of Judah have (D)broken My covenant which I made with their fathers.” 11 Therefore this is what the Lord says: “Behold, I am (E)bringing disaster on them which they will (F)not be able to escape; though they will (G)cry out to Me, I will not listen to them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will (H)go and cry out to the gods to whom they [b]burn incense, but they certainly will not save them in the time of their disaster.

  1. Jeremiah 11:10 Lit former fathers
  2. Jeremiah 11:12 Or offer sacrifices

10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.

11 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.

12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
