Jeremiah 11:9-13
New International Version
9 Then the Lord said to me, “There is a conspiracy(A) among the people of Judah and those who live in Jerusalem. 10 They have returned to the sins of their ancestors,(B) who refused to listen to my words.(C) They have followed other gods(D) to serve them.(E) Both Israel and Judah have broken the covenant(F) I made with their ancestors. 11 Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘I will bring on them a disaster(G) they cannot escape.(H) Although they cry(I) out to me, I will not listen(J) to them. 12 The towns of Judah and the people of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they burn incense,(K) but they will not help them at all when disaster(L) strikes. 13 You, Judah, have as many gods(M) as you have towns;(N) and the altars you have set up to burn incense(O) to that shameful(P) god Baal are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.’
Jeremiah 11:9-13
Lexham English Bible
9 And Yahweh said to me, “A conspiracy is found among the people[a] of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their former ancestors,[b] who refused to obey my words, and they have gone after other gods, to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made[c] with their ancestors.”[d]
11 Therefore[e] thus says Yahweh, “I am about to bring on them disaster from which they will not be able to escape. Though they cry out to me, yet I will not listen to them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they are making smoke offerings, but they will certainly not save them in the time of their trouble. 13 For the number of your towns are your gods, O Judah, and the number of the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the shameful things, to make smoke offerings to Baal.
