King James Version
Jeremiah 2:25-27
King James Version
25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets.
27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.

New International Version
Jeremiah 2:25-27
New International Version
25 Do not run until your feet are bare
and your throat is dry.
But you said, ‘It’s no use!(A)
I love foreign gods,(B)
and I must go after them.’(C)
26 “As a thief is disgraced(D) when he is caught,
so the people of Israel are disgraced—
they, their kings and their officials,
their priests(E) and their prophets.(F)
27 They say to wood,(G) ‘You are my father,’
and to stone,(H) ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs(I) to me
and not their faces;(J)
yet when they are in trouble,(K) they say,
‘Come and save(L) us!’
