Jeremiah 2:25-27
New American Standard Bible 1995
25 “Keep your feet from being unshod
And your throat from thirst;
But you said, ‘(A)It is [a]hopeless!
No! For I have (B)loved strangers,
And after them I will walk.’
26 “As the (C)thief is shamed when he is discovered,
So the house of Israel is shamed;
They, their kings, their princes
And their priests and their prophets,
27 Who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
And to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their (D)back to Me,
And not their face;
But in the (E)time of their [b]trouble they will 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!’
