Jeremiah 2:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 Thus says Yahweh:
“What injustice did your ancestors[a] find in me
that they were far from me,
and they went after the vanity,
and they became vain?
6 And they did not say,
‘Where is Yahweh,
the one who brought us up from the land of Egypt,
the one who led us in the desert,[b]
in a land of desert plains and gorges,[c]
in a land of dryness and deep darkness,
in a land that no one passes through,[d]
and no human lives there?’
7 And I brought you to the land of the orchard,
to eat its fruit, and its good things.[e]
But you entered and defiled my land,
and my inheritance you made a detestable thing.[f]
