Jeremiah 2:27-29

Good News Translation

²⁷ You will all be disgraced—you that say that a tree is your father and that a rock is your mother. This will happen because you turned away from me instead of turning to me. But when you are in trouble, you ask me to come and save you.

²⁸ “Where are the gods that you made for yourselves? When you are in trouble, let them save you—if they can! Judah, you have as many gods as you have cities. ²⁹ What is your complaint? Why have you rebelled against me?
