Jeremiah 2:25-27
Lexham English Bible
25 Restrain your foot from being barefoot,
and your throat from thirst.
But you said, ‘It is hopeless.
No! For I have loved strangers,
and after them I will go.’[a]
26 As the shame of a thief when he is caught in the act,
so the house of Israel will be ashamed.
They, their kings, their officials,
and their priests, and their prophets.
27 Those who say to the tree, ‘You are my father,’
and to the stone, ‘You gave birth to me.’
For they have turned their backs[b] to me, and not their faces.
But in the time of their trouble they say, ‘Arise 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!’
