Jeremiah 2:11-19
Has a nation changed its gods, Which are not gods? But My people have changed their Glory For what does not profit. 17 Have you not brought this on yourself, In that you have forsaken the Lord your God When He led you in the way? 19 Your own wickedness will correct you, And your backslidings will rebuke you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing That you have forsaken the Lord your God, And the fear of Me is not in you,” Says the Lord God of hosts.

Glory, honor, profit - these things rightly found in God should never be given up for cheap substitutes that become objects of worship. When we walk away from God, we bring only problems on ourselves; following God as a content (with godliness) servant leads to fearing and loving Him. Fear of what was going to happen, love for the mercy and grace that is in Jesus Christ. These things were written for us to learn from, examples not to follow... 1 Corinthians 10:11-13.
