4 Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob and all the families of the house of Israel.
5 Thus says the Lord:
a“What injustice have your fathers found in Me,
That they have gone far from Me,
bHave followed1 idols,
And have become idolaters?
a“What injustice have your fathers found in Me,
That they have gone far from Me,
bHave followed1 idols,
And have become idolaters?
6 Neither did they say, ‘Where is the Lord,
Who abrought us up out of the land of Egypt,
Who led us through bthe wilderness,
Through a land of deserts and pits,
Through a land of drought and the shadow of death,
Through a land that no one crossed
And where no one dwelt?’
Who abrought us up out of the land of Egypt,
Who led us through bthe wilderness,
Through a land of deserts and pits,
Through a land of drought and the shadow of death,
Through a land that no one crossed
And where no one dwelt?’
7 I brought you into aa bountiful country,
To eat its fruit and its goodness.
But when you entered, you bdefiled My land
And made My heritage an abomination.
To eat its fruit and its goodness.
But when you entered, you bdefiled My land
And made My heritage an abomination.
8 The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’
And those who handle the alaw did not know Me;
The rulers also transgressed against Me;
bThe prophets prophesied by Baal,
And walked after things that do not profit.
And those who handle the alaw did not know Me;
The rulers also transgressed against Me;
bThe prophets prophesied by Baal,
And walked after things that do not profit.
