Jeremiah 2:5-13

Jeremiah 2:5-13

[5] Thus saith  the LORD,  What iniquity  have your fathers  found  in me, that they are gone far  after  vanity,  and are become vain?  [6] Neither said  they, Where is the LORD  that brought us up  out of the land  of Egypt,  us through the wilderness,  through a land  of deserts  and of pits,  through a land  of drought,  and of the shadow of death,  through a land  that no man  passed through,  and where no man  dwelt?  [7] 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.  [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  will I plead.  [10] For pass over  the isles  of Chittim,  and see;  and send  unto Kedar,  and consider  diligently,  and see  [11] Hath a nation  their gods,  but my people  have changed  their glory  for that which doth not profit.  [12] Be astonished,  O ye heavens,  at this, and be horribly afraid,  be ye very  desolate,  saith  the LORD.  [13] For my people  have committed  two  evils;  they have forsaken  me the fountain  of living  waters,  and hewed them out  cisterns,  broken  cisterns,  that can hold  no water.
