4 Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel. 5 Thus says the Lord:
 What wrong did your ancestors find in me
  that they went far from me
 and went after worthless things and became worthless themselves?
 6 They did not say, “Where is the Lord,
  who brought us up from the land of Egypt,
 who led us in the wilderness,
  in a land of deserts and pits,
 in a land of drought and deep darkness,
  in a land that no one passes through,
  where no one lives?”
 7 I brought you into a plentiful land
  to eat its fruits and its good things.
 But when you entered you defiled my land
  and made my heritage an abomination.
 8 The priests did not say, “Where is the Lord?”
  Those who handle the law did not know me;
 the rulers transgressed against me;
  the prophets prophesied by Baal
  and went after things that do not profit.

 9 Therefore once more I accuse you,
 says the Lord,
  and I accuse your children’s children.
 10 Cross to the coasts of Cyprus and look;
  send to Kedar and examine with care;
  see if there has ever been such a thing.
 11 Has a nation changed its gods,
  even though they are no gods?
 But my people have changed their glory
  for something that does not profit.
 12 Be appalled, O heavens, at this;
  be shocked; be utterly desolate,
 says the Lord,
 13 for my people have committed two evils:
  they have forsaken me,
 the fountain of living water,
  and dug out cisterns for themselves,
 cracked cisterns
  that can hold no water.
