Jeremiah 2:26-28

Contemporary English Version

²⁶ You and your leaders
are more disgraceful
    than thieves—
you and your kings,
    your priests and prophets
²⁷ worship stone idols
    and sacred poles
as if they had created you
    and had given you life.
You have rejected me,
but when you're in trouble,
    you cry to me for help.
²⁸ Go cry to the gods you made!
There should be enough of them
    to save you,
because Judah has as many gods
    as it has towns.
