Jeremiah 2:25-27

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁶ Like the shame of a thief when he is caught,
so the house of Israel has been put to shame.^(C)
They, their kings, their officials,
their priests, and their prophets^(D)
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,^(E)
yet in their time of disaster^(F) they beg,
‘Rise up and save us! ’
