Jeremiah 2:6-8
Christian Standard Bible
6 They stopped asking, “Where is the Lord(A)
who brought us from the land of Egypt,
who led us through the wilderness,(B)
through a land of deserts and ravines,
through a land of drought and darkness,[a]
a land no one traveled through
and where no one lived?”
7 I brought you to a fertile land(C)
to eat its fruit and bounty,
but after you entered, you defiled my land;(D)
you made my inheritance(E) detestable.
8 The priests quit asking, “Where is the Lord?”
The experts in the law no longer knew me,(F)
and the rulers(G) rebelled against me.
The prophets prophesied by[b] Baal(H)
and followed useless idols.(I)
