Jeremiah 2:9-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Therefore once more I accuse you,
says the Lord,
and I accuse your children’s children.(A)
10 Cross to the coasts of Cyprus and look;
send to Kedar and examine with care;
see if there has ever been such a thing.
11 Has a nation changed its gods,
even though they are no gods?
But my people have changed their glory
for something that does not profit.(B)
12 Be appalled, O heavens, at this;
be shocked; be utterly desolate,
says the Lord,

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)

be shocked and utterly desolated!
