10 Cross over to the coasts of Cyprus(A) and look,
    send to Kedar[a](B) and observe closely;
    see if there has ever been anything like this:
11 Has a nation ever changed its gods?
    (Yet they are not gods(C) at all.)
But my people have exchanged their glorious(D) God
    for worthless idols.
12 Be appalled at this, you heavens,
    and shudder with great horror,”
declares the Lord.
