Jeremiah 2:25-27

American Standard Version

²⁵ Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst. But thou saidst, It is in vain; no, for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.

²⁶ As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets; ²⁷ who say to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast ^[a]brought ^[b]me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face; but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
