Jeremiah 2:25-27

Modern English Version

²⁶ As the thief is ashamed when he is found,
    so is the house of Israel ashamed.
They, their kings, their officials,
    and their priests, and their prophets
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.
But in the time of their trouble they will say,
    “Arise and save us.”
