Jeremiah 2:9-12
New American Standard Bible
9 “Therefore I will still (A)contend with you,” declares the Lord,
“And I will contend with your sons’ sons.
10 For (B)cross to the coastlands of [a]Kittim and see,
And send to (C)Kedar and observe closely,
And see if there has been anything like this!
11 Has a nation changed gods,
When (D)they were not gods?
But My people have (E)exchanged their glory
For that which is of no benefit.
12 Be appalled at this, (F)you heavens,
And shudder, be very desolate,” declares the Lord.
