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
Lexham English Bible
The Unfaithfulness of Contemporary Israel
9 Therefore[a] I again bring a lawsuit against you,” declares[b] Yahweh,
“and with your children[c] I bring a lawsuit.
10 For go over to the coasts of Cyprus and look,
and send to Kedar and consider very closely,
and see if there has been a thing like this:
11 Has a nation exchanged gods? And they are not gods!
But my people have exchanged their glory for that which does not profit.
12 Be appalled, O heavens, at this, and shudder;
be utterly desolate,” declares[d] Yahweh.
