“Therefore I will still (A)contend with you,” declares the Lord,
“And I will contend with your sons’ sons.
10 For (B)cross to the coastlands of [a]Kittim and see,
And send to (C)Kedar and observe closely,
And see if there has been anything like this!
11 Has a nation changed gods,
When (D)they were not gods?
But My people have (E)exchanged their glory
For that which is of no benefit.
12 Be appalled at this, (F)you heavens,
And shudder, be very desolate,” declares the Lord.

Send to [c]Kedar and consider diligently,
And see if there has been such a (B)thing.
11 (C)Has a nation changed its gods,
Which are (D)not gods?
(E)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.
