Jeremiah 2:11–12

11 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.

12 Be appalled at this, you heavens,

and shudder with great horror,”

declares the Lord.

11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. 12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord.

11 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!

12 The heavens are shocked at such a thing

and shrink back in horror and dismay,”

says the Lord.

11 Has a nation changed its gods,

Which are not gods?

But My people have changed their Glory

For what does not profit.

12 Be astonished, O heavens, at this,

And be horribly afraid;

Be very desolate,” says the Lord.

11 Has a nation ever exchanged its gods?

(Of course, its gods are not really gods at all.)

But my people have exchanged their glorious God

for idols worth nothing.

12 Skies, be shocked at the things that have happened

and shake with great fear!” says the Lord.

11 Hath a nation changed its gods, which yet are no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. 12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith Jehovah.

11 Hath a nation changed its gods? and they are no gods; —but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. 12 Be astonished, ye heavens, at this, and shudder; be amazed very much, saith Jehovah.

11 Has any nation ever exchanged gods? 

(Their gods aren’t really gods.) 

Yet, my people have exchanged their Glory 

for something that doesn’t help them. 

12 Be horrified over this, heaven. 

Be terribly afraid,” declares the Lord. 

11 Has a nation ever exchanged its gods?

(But they were not gods! )

Yet My people have exchanged their Glory

for useless idols.

12 Be horrified at this, heavens;

be shocked and utterly appalled.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

11 Has a nation changed its gods,

even though they are no gods?

But my people have changed their glory

for something that does not profit.

12 Be appalled, O heavens, at this;

be shocked; be utterly desolate,

says the Lord,

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

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

12 Be appalled, O heavens, at this, and shudder;

be utterly desolate,” declares Yahweh.

11 Has a nation ever changed its gods?

Actually, they are not even gods at all.

But my people have traded away their glorious God.

They have traded me for worthless statues of gods.

12 Sky above, be shocked over that.

Tremble with horror,”

announces the Lord.

11 “Has a nation changed gods

When they were not gods?

But My people have changed their glory

For that which does not profit.

12 “Be appalled, O heavens, at this,

And shudder, be very desolate,” declares the Lord.
