Jeremiah 2:9-12
Christian Standard Bible
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)
10 Cross over to the coasts of Cyprus[a](B) and take a look.
Send someone to Kedar(C) and consider carefully;
see if there has ever been anything like this:
11 Has a nation ever exchanged its gods?(D)
(But they were not gods!(E))
Yet my people have exchanged their[b] Glory
for useless idols.(F)
12 Be appalled at this, heavens;(G)
be shocked and utterly desolated!
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Jeremiah 2:9-12
New American Standard Bible
9 “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.
