Jeremiah 16:10-13

10“And when you tell this people all these words, and they say to you, aWhy has the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’ 11then you shall say to them: bBecause your fathers have forsaken me, declares the Lord, and chave gone after other gods and have served and worshiped them, and have forsaken me and have not kept my law, 12and because dyou have done worse than your fathers, for behold, eevery one of you follows his stubborn, evil will, refusing to listen to me. 13Therefore fI will hurl you out of this land into ga land that neither you nor your fathers have known, hand there you shall serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
