Jeremiah 2:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ Hear the word of the Lord, you house of Jacob.
All you families of the house of Israel,
⁵ this is what the Lord says.
What fault did your fathers find in me,
that they departed so far from me?
They followed worthless idols,
and so they became worthless themselves.
⁶ They did not say,
“Where is the Lord, who brought us up from the land of Egypt?
Where is the one who led us through the wilderness,
    through a desert wasteland filled with ravines,
    through a land of drought and the shadow of death,
    a land which no one passes through,
    a land where no human being lives?”
