27 To an image carved from a piece of wood they say,
‘You are my father.’

but in times of trouble they cry out to me,
‘Come and save us!’
Jeremiah 3:2
New Living Translation
2 “Look at the shrines on every hilltop.
Is there any place you have not been defiled
by your adultery with other gods?

You sit alone like a nomad in the desert.
You have polluted the land with your prostitution
and your wickedness.

Habakkuk 2:19

19 What sorrow awaits you who say to wooden idols,
‘Wake up and save us!’
To speechless stone images you say,
‘Rise up and teach us!’

They may be overlaid with gold and silver,
but they are lifeless inside.
Hosea 4:12

They think a stick can tell them the future!

has made them foolish.
They have played the prostitute,
serving other gods and deserting their God.
