11 Has any nation ever stopped worshiping their old gods
    so that they could worship new gods?
    No! And their gods are not really gods at all!
But my people stopped worshiping their glorious God
    and started worshiping idols that are worth nothing.

12 “Skies, be shocked at what happened!
    Shake with great fear!”
    This message is from the Lord.
13 “My people have done two evil things.
    They turned away from me,
    and they dug their own water cisterns.[a]
I am the source of living water;
    those cisterns are broken and cannot hold water.
