JerYer JeremiahYeremya, chapterbölüm Book of JeremiahYeremya Kitabı, chapterbölüm 2

As the thief is ashamed when he is caught,

so the house of Israel is disgraced.

They, their kings, their officials,

their priests, and their prophetsJer 48:27; Ezk 28:17; Dan 9:8

say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’

and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’

They have turned their backs to Me

and not their faces.

Yet in the time of trouble, they say,

‘Rise up and save us!’Jer 3:9; Hos 4:12; 1Ki 14:9
