Jeremiah 2:7-13

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead.

4. 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.

5. 11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.

6. 12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.

7. 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.
