Jeremiah 2:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ Saying to a stock: Thou art my father: and to a stone: thou hast begotten me: they have turned their back to me, and not their face: and in the time of their affliction they will say: Arise, and deliver us.

²⁸ Where are the gods, whom thou hast made thee? let them arise and deliver thee in the time of thy affliction: for according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Juda.

²⁹ Why will you contend with me in judgement? you have all forsaken me, saith the Lord.
