Jeremiah 2:11

Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.

KJV

si mutavit gens deos suos, et certe ipsi non sunt dii : populus vero meus mutavit gloriam suam in idolum.

Vulgate

εἰ ἀλλάξονται ἔθνη θεοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ οὗτοι οὐκ εἰσὶν θεοί· ὁ δὲ λαός μου ἠλλάξατο τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, ἐξ ἧς οὐκ ὠφεληθήσονται.

LXX

Hath a nation changed its gods, which yet are no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
