To eat its fruit and its goodness.
But when you entered, you bdefiled My land
And made My heritage an abomination.
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 against your children’s children I will bring charges.
Send to1 Kedar and consider diligently,
And see if there has been such a athing.
Which are bnot gods?
cBut My people have changed their Glory
For what does not profit.
They have forsaken Me, the afountain of living waters,
And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.
They made his land waste;
His cities are burned, without inhabitant.
