Jeremiah 2:11-13
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 Has a nation ever exchanged its gods?(A)
(But they were not gods!(B))
Yet My people have exchanged their[a] Glory
for useless idols.(C)
12 Be horrified at this, heavens;(D)
be shocked and utterly appalled.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
13 For My people have committed a double evil:
They have abandoned Me,(E)
the fountain of living water,(F)
and dug cisterns for themselves,
cracked cisterns that cannot hold water.(G)

11 (A)Has a nation changed its gods,
Which are (B)not gods?
(C)But My people have changed their Glory
For what does not profit.
12 Be astonished, O heavens, at this,
And be horribly afraid;
Be very desolate,” says the Lord.
13 “For My people have committed two evils:
They have forsaken Me, the (D)fountain of living waters,
And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.
