Jeremiah 16:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

What sin have we committed against the Lord, our God?”—(A) 11 (B)you shall answer them: It is because your ancestors have forsaken me—oracle of the Lord—and followed other gods that they served and worshiped; but me they have forsaken, and my law they did not keep. 12 And you have done worse than your ancestors. Here you are, every one of you, walking in the stubbornness of your evil heart instead of listening to me.(C)
