Jeśli jest naród, któryby odmienił bogi swoje, którzy iście nie są bogowie. Ale lud mój odmienił chwałę swoję do onego, który mu nic nie pomoże.
Jeźli odmienił który naród bogów swoich, chociaż oni nie są bogami; ale lud mój odmienił sławę swoję w rzecz niepożyteczną.
Czy jakiś naród zmienił swoich bogów, choć to nie są bogowie? A mój lud zamienił swoją Chwałę na coś, co na nic się nie przydaje!
Jeźli odmienił który naród bogów swoich, chociaż oni nie są bogami; ale lud mój odmienił sławę swoję w rzecz niepożyteczną.
Czy jakiś naród zmienił swoich bogów, choć ci nie są bogami? Ale mój lud zamienił swoją chwałę na to, co jest nieużyteczne.
Czy jakiś naród zmienił swoich bogów, chociaż to nie są bogowie? Wszakże mój lud zamienił swoją chwałę na kogoś, kto nie może pomóc.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods?.... Though they are not by nature gods which they worship, only nominal and fictitious deities, yet they did not change them for others; but when they once embraced the worship of them, continued therein; so did the Chittim, the inhabitants of the isles, who though they traded to distant countries, from place to place; and so the Kedarenes, who dwelt in tents, and fed cattle, and moved from one desert to another, and from one pasture to another, as Jarchi observes; yet they carried their gods with them, and did not exchange them for new ones where they came. The Jewish writers say b, that the Kedarenes worshipped water, and the Chittim fire; and though they knew that water would quench fire, yet the latter would not change their gods. Kimchi and Abendana relate it just the reverse, and say the Kedarenes worshipped fire, and the Chittim water, which is most likely; and so it is said elsewhere c.
But my people have changed their glory; the true God, who is glorious in himself, and whom they should have glorified, and have counted it their highest honour and glory that they knew him, and were the worshippers of him; yet they changed him, their glory, into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass, Psalms 106:20, wherefore it is justly added,
for that which doth not profit; meaning Baal, and such like idols; see the note on Jeremiah 2:8.
b T. Bab. Taanith, fol. 5. 2. c Yalkut Simeoni, par. 2. fol. 60. 3.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A nation - A Gentile nation, in strong antithesis to people, the appellation of Israel.
Their glory - Though the worship of the one true God is a nationâs greatest glory, yet it is irksome because it puts a constraint on human passions.
That which doth not profit - Israel had exchanged the prosperity which was Godâs reward of obedience for the calamities which resulted from idol-worship.
