9Therefore I will continue to press my case against you, declares Yahweh, and I will press my case against your children’s children.

10For cross over to the coastlands of Kittim and see; send messengers to Kedar and consider carefully; see whether anything like this has ever happened.

11Has a nation exchanged its gods—though they are not gods? Yet my people have exchanged their glory for what brings no benefit.

12Be appalled at this, O heavens; shudder, be utterly desolate, declares Yahweh.
