9 Wherefore I will yet [a]plead with you, saith the Lord, and I will plead with your children’s children.
10 For go ye to the isles of [b]Chittim, and behold, and send unto [c]Kedar, and take diligent heed, and see whether there be such things.
11 Hath any nation changed their gods, which yet are no gods? but my people have changed their [d]glory, for that which doth not [e]profit.
