Jeremiah 2:11–13
Has a nation ever changed its gods, though they are no gods at all? Yet My people have exchanged their Glory for useless idols. / Be stunned by this, O heavens; be shocked and utterly appalled,” declares the LORD. / “For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns—broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
Jeremiah 8:5
