Jeremiah 11:9-13
Expanded Bible
9 Then the Lord said to me, “I know the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem have made ·secret plans [a conspiracy]. 10 They have ·gone back [returned] to the ·same sins their ancestors did [iniquity of their fathers of old]. ·Their ancestors [L They] refused to listen to my ·message [L words] and ·followed and worshiped [L went after and served] other gods instead [Ex. 20:3]. The ·families [L house] of Israel and [L the house of] Judah have broken the ·agreement [covenant; treaty] I ·made [L cut] with their ·ancestors [fathers]. 11 So this is what the Lord says: ‘I will soon bring ·a disaster [harm; evil] on them [C the people of Judah] which they will not be able to escape. They will cry to me for help, but I will not listen to them. 12 The ·people living in the towns [L towns] of Judah and the ·city [L inhabitants] of Jerusalem will ·pray [L cry for help] to ·their idols [L the gods] to whom they burn incense. But ·those idols [L they] will not be able to ·help [save them] when ·disaster [harm; evil] comes. 13 Look, people of Judah, you have as many ·idols [L gods] as there are towns in Judah. You have built as many altars to burn incense to that shameful god Baal as there are streets in Jerusalem.’

Jeremiah 11:9-13
New American Standard Bible
9 Then the Lord said to me, “A (A)conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10 They have (B)turned back to the wrongdoings of their [a]ancestors who (C)refused to hear My words, and they (D)have followed other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have (E)broken My covenant which I made with their fathers.” 11 Therefore this is what the Lord says: “Behold, I am (F)bringing disaster on them which they will (G)not be able to escape; though they will (H)cry out to Me, I will not listen to them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will (I)go and cry out to the gods to whom they [b]burn incense, but they certainly will not save them in the time of their disaster. 13 For your gods are [c](J)as many as your cities, Judah; and [d]as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the (K)shameful thing, altars for [e](L)burning incense to Baal.
