# What did your fathers find wrong with me, that they went far from following me? That they went after useless idols and became useless themselves?

"I did nothing wrong to your forefathers, so they should not have gone far from following me, and they should not have gone after useless idols. By doing that they themselves have become useless!"

# they went far from following me

"they rejected me"

# they went after useless idols

"they worshiped useless idols". Idols that people can use for nothing good. The translation should not make people think that there are some idols that are useful.
