“‘Therefore once more
I accuse you.’
Says Yahweh.
‘I accuse
Your children’s children.
Cross to the coasts of Cyprus!
See!
Send to Kedar!
Examine with care!
See if there has ever been
Such a thing!
Has a nation changed its gods?
Even though
They are no gods.
But my people have changed their glory.
They prefer something that does not profit.
Be appalled!
O heavens!
At this!
Be shocked!
Be utterly desolate!’
Says Yahweh.”
Jeremiah has Yahweh accuse his people and their children of changing from Yahweh God to go after false gods. Yahweh wanted them to go to the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea or the desert tribe of Kedar on the eastern side of the Jordan. Did those people change their deities? Why did his own people change from the glory of Yahweh to these false useless gods. The heavens are appalled, shocked, and desolate at this turn of events. Yahweh was upset.
