5 Thus says the Lord: What iniquity have your fathers found inMe,that they have gone far from Me,and have walked after vanityand have become vain?
6 They did not say, “Where is the Lordwho brought us up out of the land of Egypt,who 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 lived?”
7 And I brought you into a plentiful countryto eat its fruit and its goodness.But when you entered, you defiled My landand made My heritage an abomination.
8 The priests did not say,“Where is the Lord?”And those who handle the law did not know Me;the shepherds also transgressed against Me,and the prophets prophesied by Baaland walked after things that do not profit.
9 Therefore I will yet contend with you,says the Lord,and with your sons’ sons I will contend.
10 For pass over the coastlands of Cyprus and see,and send to Kedar and consider diligently,and see if there is such a thing.
11 Has a nation changed their gods,though they are not gods?But My people have changed their gloryfor that which does not profit.
