Jeremiah 2:26-27

Christian Standard Bible

²⁶ Like the shame of a thief when he is caught,
so the house of Israel has been put to shame.^(A)
They, their kings, their officials,
their priests, and their prophets^(B)
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,^(C)
yet in their time of disaster^(D) they beg,
“Rise up and save us!”
