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;

    for worthless idols.
12 Be appalled at this, you heavens,
    and shudder with great horror,”
declares the Lord.
