Jeremiah 2:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 The (A)priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’
And those who handle the Law (B)did not know Me;
The [a]rulers also revolted against Me,
And the (C)prophets prophesied by Baal
And walked after (D)things that were of no benefit.
9 “Therefore I will still (E)contend with you,” declares the Lord,
“And I will contend with your sons’ sons.
10 For (F)cross to the coastlands of [b]Kittim and see,
And send to (G)Kedar and observe closely,
And see if there has been anything like this!

Jeremiah 2:8-10
King James Version
8 The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and with your children's children will I plead.
10 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
