Jeremiah 2:9-13
9“Therefore I will yet 1contend with you,” declares the Lord, “And with your sons’ sons I will contend.10For 2cross to the coastlands of 3Kittim and see, And send to 4Kedar and observe closely And see if there has been such a thing as this!11Has a nation changed gods When 5they were not gods? But My people have 6changed their glory For that which does not profit.12Be appalled, 7O heavens, at this, And shudder, be very desolate,” declares the Lord.13“For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, The 8fountain of living waters, To hew for themselves 9cisterns, Broken cisterns That can hold no water.
