Jeremiah 2:8-10

New Living Translation

⁸ The priests did not ask,
    ‘Where is the Lord?’
Those who taught my word ignored me,
    the rulers turned against me,
and the prophets spoke in the name of Baal,
    wasting their time on worthless idols.
⁹ Therefore, I will bring my case against you,”
    says the Lord.
“I will even bring charges against your children’s children
    in the years to come.

¹⁰ “Go west and look in the land of Cyprus^[a];
    go east and search through the land of Kedar.
Has anyone ever heard of anything
    as strange as this?
