7. I brought you into a fertile landso you could enjoy its fruits and its rich bounty.But when you entered my land, you defiled it;you made the land I call my own loathsome to me.
8. Your priests did not ask, ‘Where is the Lord?’Those responsible for teaching my law did not really know me.Your rulers rebelled against me.Your prophets prophesied in the name of the god Baal.They all worshiped idols that could not help them.
9. “So, once more I will state my case against you,” says the Lord.“I will also state it against your children and grandchildren.
