New Living Translation

Jeremiah 2:7-9 New Living Translation (NLT)

7. “And when I brought you into a fruitful landto enjoy its bounty and goodness,you defiled my land andcorrupted the possession I had promised you.

8. The priests did not ask,‘Where is the lord?’Those who taught my word ignored me,the rulers turned against me,and the prophets spoke in the name of Baal,wasting their time on worthless idols.

9. Therefore, I will bring my case against you,”says the lord.“I will even bring charges against your children’s childrenin the years to come.
