Jeremiah 2:10 Context
8The Priests said not, Where is the Lord ? and they that handle the Law knew me not: the pastours also transgressed against mee, and the Prophets prophecied by Baal, and walked after things that doe not profit. 9¶ Wherefore, I will yet pleade with you, sayth the Lord, and with your childrens children will I pleade. 10For passe ouer the yles of Chittim, and see; and send vnto Kedar and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing. 11Hath a nation changed their Gods, which are yet no Gods? but my people haue changed their glory, for that which doth not profit. 12Be astonished, O yee heauens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be yee very desolate, saith the Lord.

Wesley's Notes for Jeremiah 2:10
2:10 Of Chittim - All the isles in the Mediterranean sea, with the neighbouring coasts; for the Hebrews call all people, that separated from them by the sea, islanders, because they came to them by shipping. Kedar - Arabia that lay east - south - east of Judea, as Chittim did more north or north - west; go from north to south, east to west, and make the experiment; look to Chittim the most civilized, or Kedar the most barbarous, yet neither have changed their gods.
