Yahweh’s case against his people

Yir 2:9–13

2:9 Yahweh’s case against his people

Both kingdoms

9 Yahweh declares: I will bring a case against you all,

and I’ll contend against your children and your grandchildren.

10 If you all cross over west to the coasts of Kupros (Cyprus) Island and look,

or head east to Kedar, ask around and pay careful attention

to see if something like this has ever happened before.

11 Has a country ever swapped out its gods (not that they were actual gods)?

But my people have exchanged their greatness for something of no benefit.

12 You heavens, be appalled and shudder.

≈ Become utterly desolate.

That’s what Yahweh says

13 because my people have done two evil things:

1. They’ve abandoned the spring of living water

and 2. They’ve gone and dug wells for themselves—broken cisterns that can’t hold any water.
