Jer Jeremiah, chapter Book of Jeremiah, chapter 2
In the same way that a thief feels guilty when caught, so the people of Israel have been shamed. All of them—their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets. Jer 48:27; Ezk 28:17; Dan 9:8They say to an idol made of wood, “You are my father,” and one made of stone, “You gave birth to me.” They turn their backs on me, and hide their faces from me. But when they're in trouble they come begging to me, saying, “Please come and save us!” Jer 3:9; Hos 4:12; 1Ki 14:9
