Jeremiah 2:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ I will take you to court
and accuse you
    and your descendants
* ¹⁰ of a crime that no nation
    has ever committed before.
Just ask anyone, anywhere,
from the eastern deserts
    to the islands in the west.
¹¹ You will find that no nation
has ever abandoned its gods
    even though they were false.
I am the true and glorious God,
but you have rejected me
    to worship idols.
