Jeremiah 2:25-27
International Standard Version
25 “Don’t run until your feet are bare
and your throat is dry.[a]
But you say, ‘It’s hopeless!
Because I love foreign gods,[b] I’ll go after them!’”
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!’”
