Jeremiah 2:8 Context
6Neither sayd they, Where is the Lord that brought vs vp out of the land of Egypt? that led vs through the wildernesse, through a land of deserts and of pittes, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed thorow, and where no man dwelt. 7And I brought you into a plentifull countrey, to eate the fruit thereof, and the goodnesse thereof; but when ye entred yee defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination. 8The Priests said not, Where is the Lord ? and they that handle the Law knew me not: the pastours also transgressed against mee, and the Prophets prophecied by Baal, and walked after things that doe not profit. 9¶ Wherefore, I will yet pleade with you, sayth the Lord, and with your childrens children will I pleade. 10For passe ouer the yles of Chittim, and see; and send vnto Kedar and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
