Jeremiah 2:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ They did not say, “Where is the Lord
    who brought us up out of the land of Egypt,
who led us through the wilderness,
    through a land of deserts and of pits,
through a land of drought and of the shadow of death,
    through a land that no man passed through and where no man lived?”
⁷ And I brought you into a plentiful country
    to eat its fruit and its goodness.
But when you entered, you defiled My land
    and made My heritage an abomination.
⁸ The priests did not say,
    “Where is the Lord?”
And those who handle the law did not know Me;
    the shepherds also transgressed against Me,
and the prophets prophesied by Baal
    and walked after things that do not profit.
