Jeremiah 2:9 Context
7And I brought you into a plentifull countrey, to eate the fruit thereof, and the goodnesse thereof; but when ye entred yee defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination. 8The Priests said not, Where is the Lord ? and they that handle the Law knew me not: the pastours also transgressed against mee, and the Prophets prophecied by Baal, and walked after things that doe not profit. 9¶ Wherefore, I will yet pleade with you, sayth the Lord, and with your childrens children will I pleade. 10For passe ouer the yles of Chittim, and see; and send vnto Kedar and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing. 11Hath a nation changed their Gods, which are yet no Gods? but my people haue changed their glory, for that which doth not profit.

Wesley's Notes for Jeremiah 2:9
2:9 Plead - By his judgments, and by his prophets, as he did with their fathers, that they may be left without excuse. Children - God often visits the iniquities of the parents upon the children, when they imitate their parents.
