Jeremiah 2:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ Hear ye the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all ye families of the house of Israel.

⁵ Thus saith the Lord: What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

⁶ And they have not said: Where is the Lord, that made us come up out of the land of Egypt? that led us through the desert, through a land uninhabited and unpassable, through a land of drought, and the image of death, through a land wherein no man walked, nor any man dwelt?
