Jeremiah

Jeremiah 2:10–11

¹⁰Cross over to the coasts of Cyprus^a

and take a look;

send to Kedar and consider carefully;

see if there has ever been anything like this:

¹¹Has a nation ever changed its gods?

(Yet they are not gods at all.)

But My people have exchanged their Glory^b

for useless idols.
