Jeremiah 2:5-7
Christian Standard Bible
5 This is what the Lord says:
What fault did your ancestors find in me(A)
that they went so far from me,
followed worthless idols,(B)
and became worthless themselves?(C)
6 They stopped asking, “Where is the Lord(D)
who brought us from the land of Egypt,
who led us through the wilderness,(E)
through a land of deserts and ravines,
through a land of drought and darkness,[a]
a land no one traveled through
and where no one lived?”
7 I brought you to a fertile land(F)
to eat its fruit and bounty,
but after you entered, you defiled my land;(G)
you made my inheritance(H) detestable.
