Jeremiah 2:12

Yahweh called the heavens as witnesses to Israel’s folly (cf. Deuteronomy 32:1; Isaiah 1:2; Micah 6:1; et al.). These witnesses could only be appalled and shudder at such foolishness and feel desolate over such apostasy.

"Man, created by God and for God, cannot live without God. If he forsakes the living God, he passes in spite of himself into the service of dead, unreal gods." [Note: Keil, 1:58.]
