Mayroon bang bansang nagpalit ng kanyang mga diyos, gayong ang mga iyon ay hindi naman mga diyos? Ngunit ipinagpalit ng Aking bayan ang kanyang kaluwalhatian sa bagay na walang pakinabang.

“Has any nation changed its gods and they are” [2:11]. The Holy One said: where is there a nation that exchanges its foreign gods, even though they are not gods to that nation? That is to say, they know well that it is no god; it does not help them when they call on it. However, Israel had a true God and exchanged Me for a foreign god that is nothing.
