Jeremiah 2:8


Jeremiah 2:7 Jeremiah 2:8 (KJV) Jeremiah 2:9
And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
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.
Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead.
