Jeremiah 2:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 Cross to the coast of Cyprus and see,
send to Kedar[a] and carefully inquire:
Where has anything like this been done?
11 Does any other nation change its gods?—
even though they are not gods at all!
But my people have changed their glory
for useless things.(A)
12 Be horrified at this, heavens;
shudder, be appalled—oracle of the Lord.

Jeremiah 2:10-12
New International Version
10 Cross over to the coasts of Cyprus(A) and look,
send to Kedar[a](B) and observe closely;
see if there has ever been anything like this:
11 Has a nation ever changed its gods?
(Yet they are not gods(C) at all.)
But my people have exchanged their glorious(D) God
for worthless idols.
12 Be appalled at this, you heavens,
and shudder with great horror,”
declares the Lord.
