Jeremiah 2:25-27

Jeremiah 2:25-27
Christian Standard Bible
25 Keep your feet from going bare
and your throat from thirst.
But you say, “It’s hopeless;(A)
I love strangers,(B)
and I will continue to follow them.”
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!”

New International Version
Jeremiah 2:25-27
New International Version
25 Do not run until your feet are bare
and your throat is dry.
But you said, ‘It’s no use!(A)
I love foreign gods,(B)
and I must go after them.’(C)
26 “As a thief is disgraced(D) when he is caught,
so the people of Israel are disgraced—
they, their kings and their officials,
their priests(E) and their prophets.(F)
27 They say to wood,(G) ‘You are my father,’
and to stone,(H) ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs(I) to me
and not their faces;(J)
yet when they are in trouble,(K) they say,
‘Come and save(L) us!’
