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.
