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.

Evangelical Heritage Version
9 So I am bringing charges against you again, declares the Lord,
and I am bringing charges against your children’s children.
10 Cross over to the coasts of Cyprus[a] and look.
Send someone to Kedar[b] and observe carefully.
See if there has ever been anything like this.
11 Has a nation ever exchanged its gods
(even though they are not gods at all)?
Yet my people have exchanged their Glory[c]
for useless idols.
12 Be appalled at this, you heavens.
Be horrified and wither away completely, declares the Lord.
