Jeremiah 11:10-12

The Broken Covenant

10 They have turned back to m the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. m They have gone after other gods to serve them. n The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made with their fathers. 11 Therefore, thus says the Lord, Behold, I am bringing disaster upon them that they cannot escape. o Though they cry to me, I will not listen to them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem p will go and cry to the gods to whom they make offerings, p but they cannot save them in the time of their trouble.
