Jeremiah 2:26-28

Tree of Life Version

²⁶ As a thief is shamed when caught,
        so the house of Israel is shamed—
    they, their kings, their princes,
        their kohanim and their prophets.
²⁷ They say to wood, ‘You are my father’
        and to a stone, ‘You birthed me.’
    They have turned their back to Me
        and not their face.
    Yet when they are in trouble
        they say, ‘Rise up and save us!’
²⁸ Where are your gods that you made for yourself?
    Let them come—if they can save you
        when you are in trouble!
    For you have as many gods
        as you have cities, O Judah.
