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. ‡

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. ‡

10 For pass beyond the coasts of¹ Cyprus and see,
Send to¹ Kedar and consider diligently,
And see if there has been such a ^athing. ‡

11 ^aHas a nation changed its gods,
Which are ^bnot gods?
^cBut My people have changed their Glory
For what does not profit. ‡
