Jeremiah 2:26-29
English Standard Version
26 “As a thief is shamed when caught,
so the house of Israel shall be shamed:
(A)they, their kings, their officials,
their priests, and their prophets,
27 who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their back to me,
and not their face.
But (B)in the time of their trouble they say,
‘Arise and save us!’
28 But (C)where are your gods
that you made for yourself?
Let them arise, (D)if they can save you,
in your time of trouble;
for (E)as many as your cities
are your gods, O Judah.
29 “Why do you contend with me?
You have all transgressed against me,
declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 2:26-29
International Standard Version
26 “As a thief is disgraced when he’s caught,
so the house of Israel is disgraced—
they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets,
27 who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
and to a stone, ‘You gave birth to me.’
They have turned their back to me,
but not their faces.
In the time of their trouble, they’ll say,
‘Rise up! Deliver us!’”
28 “But where are your gods
that you made for yourselves?
Let them rise up, if they can deliver you
in the time of your trouble.
You have as many gods as you have towns, Judah.
29 Why do you contend with me?
You have rebelled against me,”
declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 2:26-29
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)
29 “Why do you bring charges against me?
You have all(M) rebelled against me,”
declares the Lord.
