Jeremiah 2:8-10
Common English Bible
Jeremiah 2:8-10
Common English Bible
8 The priests didn’t ask,
“Where’s the Lord?”
Those responsible for the Instruction didn’t know me;
the leaders rebelled against me;
the prophets spoke in the name of Baal,
going after what has no value.
9 That is why I will take you to court
and charge even your descendants,
declares the Lord.
10 Look to the west as far as the shores of Cyprus
and to the east as far as the land of Kedar.
Ask anyone there:
Has anything this odd ever taken place?

New King James Version
8 The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’
And those who handle the (A)law did not know Me;
The rulers also transgressed against Me;
(B)The prophets prophesied by Baal,
And walked after things that do not profit.
9 “Therefore (C)I will yet [a]bring charges against you,” says the Lord,
“And against your children’s children I will bring charges.
10 For pass beyond the coasts of [b]Cyprus and see,
Send to [c]Kedar and consider diligently,
And see if there has been such a (D)thing.
