Jeremiah 2:27-29
Young's Literal Translation
27 Saying to wood, `My father [art] thou!' And to a stone, `Thou hast brought me forth,' For they turned unto me the back and not the face, And in the time of their vexation, They say, `Arise Thou, and save us.'
28 And where [are] thy gods, that thou hast made to thyself? Let them arise, if they may save thee, In the time of thy vexation, For -- the number of thy cities have been thy gods, O Judah,
29 Why do ye strive with Me? All of you have transgressed against Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.

New International Version
Jeremiah 2:27-29
New International Version
27 They say to wood,(A) ‘You are my father,’
and to stone,(B) ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs(C) to me
and not their faces;(D)
yet when they are in trouble,(E) they say,
‘Come and save(F) us!’
28 Where then are the gods(G) you made for yourselves?
Let them come if they can save you
when you are in trouble!(H)
For you, Judah, have as many gods
as you have towns.(I)
29 “Why do you bring charges against me?
You have all(J) rebelled against me,”
declares the Lord.
