Jeremiah 2:9

← Jeremiah 2:8	Jeremiah 2:9 (KJV)	Jeremiah 2:10 →
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.	For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
