Jeremiah 2:26-28
Holman Christian Standard Bible
26 Like the shame of a thief when he is caught,
so the house of Israel has been put to shame.(A)
They, their kings, their officials,
their priests, and their prophets(B)
27 say to a tree, “You are my father,”
and to a stone, “You gave birth to me.”
For they have turned their back to Me
and not their face,(C)
yet in their time of disaster(D) they beg,
“Rise up and save us!”
28 But where are your gods you made for yourself?
Let them rise up and save you(E)
in your time of disaster if they can,
for your gods are as numerous as your cities, Judah.
Jeremiah 2:26-28
New International Version
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,(D) ‘You are my father,’
and to stone,(E) ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs(F) to me
and not their faces;(G)
yet when they are in trouble,(H) they say,
‘Come and save(I) us!’
28 Where then are the gods(J) you made for yourselves?
Let them come if they can save you
when you are in trouble!(K)
For you, Judah, have as many gods
as you have towns.(L)
