Jeremiah 2:6-8
New King James Version
6 Neither did they say, ‘Where is the Lord,
Who (A)brought us up out of the land of Egypt,
Who led us through (B)the wilderness,
Through a land of deserts and pits,
Through a land of drought and the shadow of death,
Through a land that no one crossed
And where no one dwelt?’
7 I brought you into (C)a bountiful country,
To eat its fruit and its goodness.
But when you entered, you (D)defiled My land
And made My heritage an abomination.
8 The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’
And those who handle the (E)law did not know Me;
The rulers also transgressed against Me;
(F)The prophets prophesied by Baal,
And walked after things that do not profit.
