Jeremiah 2:9-12
Legacy Standard Bible
9 “Therefore I will yet (A)contend with you,” declares Yahweh,
“And with your sons’ sons I will contend.
10 For (B)cross to the coastlands of [a]Kittim and see,
And send to (C)Kedar and perceive closely
And see if there has been such a thing as this!
11 Has a nation changed gods
Though (D)they were not gods?
But My people have (E)changed their glory
For that which does not profit.
12 Be appalled, (F)O heavens, at this,
And be horribly afraid, be very devastated,” declares Yahweh.

Jeremiah 2:9-12
American Standard Version
9 Wherefore I will yet contend with you, saith Jehovah, and with your children’s children will I contend. 10 For pass over to the isles of Kittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there hath been such a thing. 11 Hath a nation changed its gods, which yet are no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. 12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith Jehovah.
