7 I brought you to a fertile land to eat its fruit and bounty,but after you entered, you defiled My land; you made My inheritance detestable.
8 The priests quit asking, “Where is the Lord? ”The experts in the law no longer knew Me, and the rulers rebelled against Me.The prophets prophesied by Baal and followed useless idols.
9 Therefore, I will bring a case against you again.This is the Lord’s declaration.I will bring a case against your children’s children.
10 Cross over to Cyprus and take a look.Send someone to Kedar and consider carefully;see if there has ever been anything like this:
11 Has a nation ever exchanged its gods? (But they were not gods! )Yet My people have exchanged their Gloryfor useless idols.
12 Be horrified at this, heavens; be shocked and utterly appalled.This is the Lord’s declaration.
13 For My people have committed a double evil:They have abandoned Me, the fountain of living water, and dug cisterns for themselves,cracked cisterns that cannot hold water.
