Jeremiah 2:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

⁸ “The priests did not ask,
    ‘Where is the Lord?’
The people who know the law did not want to know me.
    The leaders of the people of Israel turned against me.
The prophets spoke^[a] in the name of the false god Baal.
    They worshiped worthless idols.”

⁹ The Lord says, “So now I will accuse you again,
    and I will also accuse your grandchildren.
¹⁰ Go across the sea to the Islands of Kittim.^[b]
    Send someone to the land of Kedar.
Look very carefully.
    See if anyone has ever done anything like this.
