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.
