Jeremiah 2:9
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Therefore, I will contend with you again, declares the LORD, and I will bring a case against your children’s children.
In context
7 I brought you into a fertile land to eat its fruit and bounty, but you came and defiled My land, and made My inheritance detestable.
8 The priests did not ask, ‘Where is the LORD?’ The experts in the law no longer knew Me, and the leaders rebelled against Me. The prophets prophesied by Baal and followed useless idols.
9 Therefore, I will contend with you again, declares the LORD, and I will bring a case against your children’s children.
10 Cross over to the coasts of Cyprus and take a look; send to Kedar and consider carefully; see if there has ever been anything like this:
11 Has a nation ever changed its gods, though they are no gods at all? Yet My people have exchanged their Glory for useless idols.
