Jeremiah 2:9-12
Christian Standard Bible
9 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 the coasts of Cyprus[a](B) and take a look.
Send someone to Kedar(C) and consider carefully;
see if there has ever been anything like this:
11 Has a nation ever exchanged its gods?(D)
(But they were not gods!(E))
Yet my people have exchanged their[b] Glory
for useless idols.(F)
12 Be appalled at this, heavens;(G)
be shocked and utterly desolated!
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Jeremiah 2:9-12
Common English Bible
9 That is why I will take you to court
and charge even your descendants,
declares the Lord.
10 Look to the west as far as the shores of Cyprus
and to the east as far as the land of Kedar.
Ask anyone there:
Has anything this odd ever taken place?
11 Has a nation switched gods,
though they aren’t really gods at all?
Yet my people have exchanged their glory
for what has no value.
12 Be stunned at such a thing, you heavens;
shudder and quake,
declares the Lord.
