Jeremiah 2:6-8
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 2:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 Your ancestors refused
to ask for my help,
though I had rescued them
from Egypt
and led them through
a treacherous, barren desert,
where no one lives
or dares to travel.
7 I brought you here to my land,
where food is abundant,
but you made my land filthy
with your sins.
8 The priests who teach my laws
don't care to know me.
Your leaders rebel against me;
your prophets
give messages from Baal
and worship false gods.
Jeremiah 2:6-8
New International Version
Jeremiah 2:6-8
New International Version
6 They did not ask, ‘Where is the Lord,
who brought us up out of Egypt(A)
and led us through the barren wilderness,
through a land of deserts(B) and ravines,(C)
a land of drought and utter darkness,
a land where no one travels(D) and no one lives?’
7 I brought you into a fertile land
to eat its fruit and rich produce.(E)
But you came and defiled my land
and made my inheritance detestable.(F)
8 The priests did not ask,
‘Where is the Lord?’
Those who deal with the law did not know me;(G)
the leaders(H) rebelled against me.
The prophets prophesied by Baal,(I)
following worthless idols.(J)
