Jeremiah 2:9-12
English Standard Version
9 “Therefore (A)I still contend with you,
declares the Lord,
and (B)with your children's children I will contend.
10 For cross to the coasts of (C)Cyprus and see,
or send to (D)Kedar and examine with care;
see if there has been such a thing.
11 (E)Has a nation changed its gods,
(F)even though they are no gods?
But my people (G)have changed their glory
for (H)that which does not profit.
12 Be appalled, (I)O heavens, at this;
be shocked, be utterly desolate,
declares the Lord,
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.
