²⁶ “As a thief is disgraced^(A) when he is caught,
    so the people of Israel are disgraced—
they, their kings and their officials,
    their priests^(B) and their prophets.^(C)

²⁷ They say to wood,^(A) ‘You are my father,’
    and to stone,^(B) ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs^(C) to me
    and not their faces;^(D)
yet when they are in trouble,^(E) they say,
    ‘Come and save^(F) us!’
