Jeremiah 2:26-28
Complete Jewish Bible
Jeremiah 2:26-28
Complete Jewish Bible
26 Just as a thief is ashamed when caught,
so is the house of Isra’el ashamed —
they, their kings, their leaders,
their cohanim and their prophets,
27 who say to a log, ‘You are my father,’
and to a stone, ‘You gave us birth.’
For they have turned their backs to me
instead of their faces.
But when trouble comes, they will plead,
‘Rouse yourself and save us!’
28 Where are your gods that you made for yourselves?
Let them rouse themselves,
if they can save you when trouble comes.
Y’hudah, you have as many gods
as you have cities!

Jeremiah 2:26-28
New International Version
26 “As a thief is disgraced(A) when he is caught,
so the people of Israel are disgraced—
they, their kings and their officials,
their priests(B) and their prophets.(C)
27 They say to wood,(D) ‘You are my father,’
and to stone,(E) ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs(F) to me
and not their faces;(G)
yet when they are in trouble,(H) they say,
‘Come and save(I) us!’
28 Where then are the gods(J) you made for yourselves?
Let them come if they can save you
when you are in trouble!(K)
For you, Judah, have as many gods
as you have towns.(L)
