拜偶像,正如经上所记:「因为我的百姓做了两件恶事,就是离弃我这活水的泉源,为自己凿出池子,是破裂不能存水的池子」(耶利米书 2:13);而论犹太民经上又写着:「你们且过到基提海岛去察看,打发人往基达去留心查考,看曾有这样的事没有?
Idol worship, as it is written: “For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, to hew for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns” (Jeremiah 2:13), and it is written about the Jewish people: “For pass over the isles of the Kittim and see; and send to Kedar and observe carefully, and see if there has been such a thing.

岂有一国换了他的神吗?其实这不是神。

但我的百姓将他们的荣耀换了那无益的神」(耶利米书 2:10–11)。
But My people has exchanged its glory for that which does not profit” (Jeremiah 2:10–11).
