Jeremiah 2:8

Expanded Bible

⁸ The priests didn’t ask,
    ‘Where is the Lord?’
The people who ·know [handle; deal with] the ·teachings [laws; instructions; ^LTorah] didn’t know me.
    The ·leaders [^Lshepherds] turned against me.
The prophets prophesied in the name of Baal [Deut. 13:1–5]
    and ·worshiped useless idols [^Lwent after unprofitable things].
