Jeremiah 2:7-9
English Standard Version
7 (A)And I brought you into a plentiful land
to enjoy its fruits and its good things.
But when you came in, (B)you defiled my land
and made my heritage an abomination.
8 The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’
(C)Those who handle the law did not know me;
(D)the shepherds[a] transgressed against me;
(E)the prophets prophesied by Baal
and went after (F)things that do not profit.
9 “Therefore (G)I still contend with you,
declares the Lord,
and (H)with your children's children I will contend.
