4Hear the word of Yahweh, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel.The sin of Israel's ancestors. Jr.2.4-13שִׁמְעוּ דְבַר־יְהוָה בֵּית יַעֲקֹב וְכָל־מִשְׁפְּחֹות בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
5Thus says Yahweh:

"What wrong did your fathers find in me
that they went far from me,
and went after worthlessness,
and became worthless?

 כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה
    מַה־מָּצְאוּ אֲבֹותֵיכֶם בִּי עָוֶל כִּי רָחֲקוּ מֵעָלָי
    וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרֵי הַהֶבֶל וַיֶּהְבָּלוּ׃
6They did not say, 'Where is Yahweh
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 none passes through,
where no man dwells?
 וְלֹא אָמְרוּ אַיֵּה יְהוָה הַמַּעֲלֶה אֹתָנוּ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם
הַמֹּולִיךְ אֹתָנוּ בַּמִּדְבָּר בְּאֶרֶץ עֲרָבָה וְשׁוּחָה
בְּאֶרֶץ צִיָּה וְצַלְמָוֶת בְּאֶרֶץ לֹא־עָבַר בָּהּ אִישׁ וְלֹא־יָשַׁב אָדָם שָׁם׃
7And 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.
 וָאָבִיא אֶתְכֶם אֶל־אֶרֶץ הַכַּרְמֶל לֶאֱכֹל פִּרְיָהּ וְטוּבָהּ
וַתָּבֹאוּ וַתְּטַמְּאוּ אֶת־אַרְצִי וְנַחֲלָתִי שַׂמְתֶּם לְתֹועֵבָה׃
8The priests did not say, 'Where is Yahweh?'
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.
 הַכֹּהֲנִים לֹא אָמְרוּ אַיֵּה יְהוָה
וְתֹפְשֵׂי הַתֹּורָה לֹא יְדָעוּנִי וְהָרֹעִים פָּשְׁעוּ בִי
וְהַנְּבִיאִים נִבְּאוּ בַבַּעַל וְאַחֲרֵי לֹא־יֹועִלוּ הָלָכוּ׃
9"Therefore I still contend with you,
says Yahweh,
and with your children's children I will contend.
 לָכֵן עֹד אָרִיב אִתְּכֶם נְאֻם־יְהוָה וְאֶת־בְּנֵי בְנֵיכֶם אָרִיב׃
10For cross to the coasts of Cyprus and see,
or send to Kedar and examine with care;
see if there has been such a thing.
 כִּי עִבְרוּ אִיֵּי כִתִּיִּים וּרְאוּ וְקֵדָר שִׁלְחוּ וְהִתְבֹּונְנוּ מְאֹד
וּרְאוּ הֵן הָיְתָה כָּזֹאת׃
11Has a nation changed its gods,
even though they are no gods?
But my people have changed their glory
for that which does not profit.
 הַהֵימִיר גֹּוי אֱלֹהִים וְהֵמָּה לֹא אֱלֹהִים
וְעַמִּי הֵמִיר כְּבֹודֹו בְּלֹוא יֹועִיל׃
12Be appalled, O heavens, at this,
be shocked, be utterly desolate,
says Yahweh,
 שֹׁמּוּ שָׁמַיִם עַל־זֹאת וְשַׂעֲרוּ חָרְבוּ מְאֹד נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃
13for my people have committed two evils:
they have forsaken me,
the fountain of living waters,
and hewed out cisterns for themselves,
broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
 כִּי־שְׁתַּיִם רָעֹות עָשָׂה עַמִּי אֹתִי עָזְבוּ
מְקֹור מַיִם חַיִּים לַחְצֹב לָהֶם בֹּארֹות
בֹּארֹת נִשְׁבָּרִים אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָכִלוּ הַמָּיִם׃
