Therefore, I will bring a case against you again.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
I will bring a case against your children’s children.(A)
10 Cross over to Cyprus[a](B) and take a look.

(But they were not gods!(E))
Yet My people have exchanged their[b] Glory
for useless idols.(F)
12 Be horrified at this, heavens;(G)
be shocked and utterly appalled.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

13 For My people have committed a double evil:
They have abandoned Me,(H)
the fountain of living water,(I)
and dug cisterns for themselves,
cracked cisterns that cannot hold water.(J)
