Jeremiah 2:5 in Context — Jeremiah 2
3 Israel era santidade ao SENHOR, era os primeiros de sua colheita. Todos os que o prejudicavam cometiam pecado [e] o mal vinha sobre eles, diz o SENHOR.
4 Ouvi a palavra do SENHOR, ó casa de Jacó, e todas as famílias da casa de Israel.
5 Assim diz o SENHOR: Que maldade vossos pais acharam em mim, para terem se afastado de mim, [de modo que] seguiram coisas inúteis, e eles [mesmos] se tornarão inúteis?
6 Eles nem disseram: Onde está o SENHOR, que nos fez subir de terra do Egito, que nos guiou pelo deserto, por uma terra deserta e esburacada, por uma terra seca e de sombra de morte, por uma terra pela qual ninguém passava, nem ali homem algum habitava?
7 E eu vos trouxe à terra de Carmelo, para que comêsseis seu fruto e seu bem; mas entrastes, e contaminastes minha terra, e fizestes minha propriedade abominável.
