Jeremiah 3:24-25
New English Translation
24 From earliest times our worship of that shameful god, Baal,
has taken away[a] all that our ancestors[b] worked for.
It has taken away our flocks and our herds
and even our sons and daughters.
25 Let us acknowledge[c] our shame.
Let us bear the disgrace that we deserve.[d]
For we have sinned against the Lord our God,
both we and our ancestors.
From earliest times to this very day
we have not obeyed the Lord our God.’
