4 Hear ye the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel;
5 thus hath the Lord said, 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 Neither did they say, Where is the Lord that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through and where no man dwelt?
7 And I brought you into a plentiful country to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land and made my heritage an abomination.
8 The priests did not say, Where is the Lord? and those that handled the law did not know me; the pastors also rebelled against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal and walked after things that do not profit.
9 Therefore I will yet enter into judgment with you, saith the Lord, and I will plead with your children’s children.
10 For pass over the isles of Chittim and see; and send unto Kedar and consider diligently and see if there be such a thing.
