“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.

  1. Jeremiah 2:10 I.e., Cyprus and other islands

Therefore, I will bring my case against you,”
    says the Lord.
“I will even bring charges against your children’s children
    in the years to come.

10 “Go west and look in the land of Cyprus[a];
    go east and search through the land of Kedar.
Has anyone ever heard of anything
    as strange as this?
11 Has any nation ever traded its gods for new ones,
    even though they are not gods at all?
Yet my people have exchanged their glorious God[b]
    for worthless idols!
12 The heavens are shocked at such a thing
    and shrink back in horror and dismay,”
    says the Lord.
