Jeremiah 2:4-6
Lexham English Bible
The Unfaithfulness of Israel’s Ancestors
4 Hear the word of Yahweh, O house of Jacob, and all the clans[a] of the house of Israel. 5 Thus says Yahweh:
“What injustice did your ancestors[b] find in me
that they were far from me,
and they went after the vanity,
and they became vain?
6 And they did not say,
‘Where is Yahweh,
the one who brought us up from the land of Egypt,
the one who led us in the desert,[c]
in a land of desert plains and gorges,[d]
in a land of dryness and deep darkness,
in a land that no one passes through,[e]
and no human lives there?’
