Jeremiah 2:7-9
Christian Standard Bible
7 I brought you to a fertile land(A)
to eat its fruit and bounty,
but after you entered, you defiled my land;(B)
you made my inheritance(C) detestable.
8 The priests quit asking, “Where is the Lord?”
The experts in the law no longer knew me,(D)
and the rulers(E) rebelled against me.
The prophets prophesied by[a] Baal(F)
and followed useless idols.(G)
9 Therefore, I will bring a case against you again.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
I will bring a case against your children’s children.(H)
