Jeremiah 2:10-13
New Living Translation
Jeremiah 2:10-13
New Living Translation
10 “Go west and look in the land of Cyprus[a];
go east and search through the land of Kedar.
Has anyone ever heard of anything
as strange as this?
11 Has any nation ever traded its gods for new ones,
even though they are not gods at all?
Yet my people have exchanged their glorious God[b]
for worthless idols!
12 The heavens are shocked at such a thing
and shrink back in horror and dismay,”
says the Lord.
13 “For my people have done two evil things:
They have abandoned me—
the fountain of living water.
And they have dug for themselves cracked cisterns
that can hold no water at all!
Jeremiah 2:10-13
New International Version
Jeremiah 2:10-13
New International Version
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.
13 “My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken(E) me,
the spring of living water,(F)
and have dug their own cisterns,
broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
