Jeremiah 2:4-6

Revised Standard Version

“What wrong did your fathers find in me
    that they went far from me,
and went after worthlessness, and became worthless?
⁶ They did not say, ‘Where is the Lord
    who brought us up from the land of Egypt,
who led us in the wilderness,
    in a land of deserts and pits,
in a land of drought and deep darkness,
    in a land that none passes through,
    where no man dwells?’
