Jeremiah 5:19

English Standard Version

19 And when your people say, ‘Why has the Lord our God done all these things to us?’ you shall say to them, ‘As you have forsaken me and served foreign gods in your land, so you shall serve foreigners in a land that is not yours.’” (De 4:27; De 28:47; De 28:68; De 29:24; 1Ki 9:8; Jer 13:22; Jer 16:10; Jer 22:8) 

New International Version

19 And when the people ask, “Why has the Lord our God done all this to us?” you will tell them, “As you have forsaken me and served foreign gods in your own land, so now you will serve foreigners in a land not your own.” 

New International Reader’s Version

19 ‘ “Jeremiah”, the people will ask, “Why has the LORD our God done all this to us?” Then you will tell them, “You have deserted the LORD. You have served other gods in your own land. So now you will serve another nation in a land that is not your own.” 

King James Version

19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
