Jeremiah 2:26-27
New King James Version
26 “As the thief is ashamed when he is found out,
So is the house of Israel ashamed;
They and their kings and their princes, and their priests and their (A)prophets,
27 Saying to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
And to a (B)stone, ‘You gave birth to me.’
For they have turned their back to Me, and not their face.
But in the time of their (C)trouble
They will say, ‘Arise and save us.’
Isaiah 57:6-10
New King James Version
6 Among the smooth (A)stones of the stream
Is your portion;
They, they, are your lot!
Even to them you have poured a drink offering,
You have offered a grain offering.
Should I receive comfort in (B)these?
7 “On(C) a lofty and high mountain
You have set (D)your bed;
Even there you went up
To offer sacrifice.
8 Also behind the doors and their posts
You have set up your remembrance;
For you have uncovered yourself to those other than Me,
And have gone up to them;
You have enlarged your bed
And [a]made a covenant with them;
(E)You have loved their bed,
Where you saw their [b]nudity.
9 (F)You went to the king with ointment,
And increased your perfumes;
You sent your (G)messengers far off,
And even descended to Sheol.
10 You are wearied in the length of your way;
(H)Yet you did not say, ‘There is no hope.’
You have found the life of your hand;
Therefore you were not grieved.

42 Whatever crawls on its belly, whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet among all creeping things that creep on the earth—these you shall not eat, for they are an abomination. 43 (A)You shall not make [a]yourselves [b]abominable with any creeping thing that creeps; nor shall you make yourselves unclean with them, lest you be defiled by them. 44 For I am the Lord your (B)God.
