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,
Jeremiah 2:9-12
International Standard Version
9 “Therefore I’ll again accuse you,”
declares the Lord,
“and I’ll accuse your grandchildren.”
10 “Indeed, go over to the coasts of Cyprus and see,
send to Kedar and pay very close attention.
See if there has ever been such a thing as this!
11 Has a nation ever changed gods
when they aren’t even gods?
But my people have exchanged their glory
for that which does not profit.
12 Heavens, be appalled at this,
be shocked, be utterly[a] devastated,”
declares the Lord.
