Jeremiah 2:12

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.

12 Be stunned by this, O heavens; be shocked and utterly appalled,” declares the LORD.

13 “For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns—broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

14 Is Israel a slave? Was he born into slavery? Why then has he become prey?

15 The young lions have roared at him; they have growled with a loud voice. They have laid waste his land; his cities lie in ruins, without inhabitant.

16 The men of Memphis and Tahpanhes have shaved the crown of your head.
