Jeremiah 2:11 Douay-Rheims

If a nation hath changed their gods, and indeed they are not gods: but my people have changed their glory into an idol.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

God actually permitted erroneous and unworthy opinions of himself to prevail—opinions such as that he was formerly a body and that he was visible.… For he nowhere considers his own dignity but always what will be profitable to us.… Even in reproving he stoops down, as when he speaks by the prophet, "Has a nation changed their gods?" And in every part of Scripture there are instances of his humility both in words and actions.
