Jeremiah 2:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ No other nation has ever changed its gods,
    even though they were not real.
But my people have exchanged me,
    the God who has brought them honor,
    for gods that can do nothing for them.
¹² And so I command the sky to shake with horror,
    to be amazed and astonished,
¹³     for my people have committed two sins:
they have turned away from me,
    the spring of fresh water,
and they have dug cisterns,
    cracked cisterns that can hold no water at all.
