7 And I brought you into a plentiful land

to enjoy its fruits and its good things.

But when you came in 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.
