Jeremiah 2:25-27
International Children’s Bible
Jeremiah 2:25-27
International Children’s Bible
25 Don’t run until your feet are bare
or until your throat is dry.
But you say, ‘It’s no use!
I love those other gods.
I must worship them!’
26 “A thief is ashamed when someone catches him stealing.
In the same way the family of Israel is ashamed.
The kings and the officers,
the priests and the prophets are ashamed.
27 They say to things of wood, ‘You are my father.’
They say to idols of stone, ‘You gave birth to me.’
Those people won’t look at me.
They have turned their backs to me.
But when they get into trouble, they say,
‘Come and save us!’

Jeremiah 2:25-27
New International Version
25 Do not run until your feet are bare
and your throat is dry.
But you said, ‘It’s no use!(A)
I love foreign gods,(B)
and I must go after them.’(C)
26 “As a thief is disgraced(D) when he is caught,
so the people of Israel are disgraced—
they, their kings and their officials,
their priests(E) and their prophets.(F)
27 They say to wood,(G) ‘You are my father,’
and to stone,(H) ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs(I) to me
and not their faces;(J)
yet when they are in trouble,(K) they say,
‘Come and save(L) us!’
