11 whether the Gentiles themselves deal so falsely and untruly with their gods - which yet are no gods indeed! But my people hath given over their high honour, for a thing that may not help them. 12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, be afraid, and abashed at such a thing, sayeth the LORD. 13 For my people hath done two evils: They have forsaken me, the well of the water of life; and digged them pits, yea, vile and broken pits, that hold no water.
