Jeremiah 2:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ Has a nation ever exchanged its gods?
    (·Of course, its gods are not really gods at all [^LAnd they are not gods].)
But my people have exchanged their glory [^CGod]
    for ·idols worth nothing [^Lunprofitable things].
¹² ·Skies [Heavens], be shocked at the things that have happened
    and ·shake [shudder] with great fear!” says the Lord.
¹³ “My people have done two evils:
They have ·turned away from [abandoned; forsaken] me,
    the ·spring [fountain] of living water [17:13].
And they have dug their own ·wells [cisterns],
    which are broken ·wells [cisterns] that cannot hold water [^Cthe idols, like the wells, are useless].
