Jeremiah 11:9-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁹ And the Lord said to me: Conspiracy exists among the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.^{(A) 10} They have turned back to the iniquities of their ancestors of old, who refused to heed my words; they have gone after other gods to serve them; the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken the covenant that I made with their ancestors.^{(B) 11} Therefore, thus says the Lord, assuredly I am going to bring disaster upon them that they cannot escape; though they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.^{(C) 12} Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they make offerings, but they will never save them in the time of their trouble.^{(D) 13} For your gods have become as many as your towns, O Judah, and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars to shame you have set up, altars to make offerings to Baal.
