ESVEnglish Standard Version

For cross to the coasts of Cyprus and see,

or send to Kedar and examine with care;

see if there has been such a thing.

Has a nation changed its gods,

even though they are no gods?

But my people have changed their glory

for that which does not profit.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Cross over to the coasts of Cyprus and look,

send to Kedar and observe closely;

see if there has ever been anything like this:

Has a nation ever changed its gods?

(Yet they are not gods at all.)

But my people have exchanged their glorious God

for worthless idols.

NLTNew Living Translation

“Go west and look in the land of Cyprus;

go east and search through the land of Kedar.

Has anyone ever heard of anything

as strange as this?

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

for worthless idols!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

For go over to the coasts of Cyprus and look,

and send to Kedar and consider very closely,

and see if there has been a thing like this:

Has a nation exchanged gods? And they are not gods!

But my people have exchanged their glory for that which does not profit.

KJV 1900King James Version

For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing. Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
