Jeremiah 2:26-28

New Catholic Bible

²⁶ As a thief is ashamed when he is caught,
    so the house of Israel will be ashamed:
they, their kings, their officials,
    their priests, and their prophets,
²⁷ those who say to a piece of wood, “You are my father,”
    and to a stone, “You gave birth to me.”
They have turned their backs to me,
    not their faces;
yet, in their time of trouble, they cry out,
    “Rise up and save us!”
²⁸ Where are the gods you have made for yourself?
    Let them come to save you
    in your time of trouble.
For you have as many towns
    as you have gods, O Judah.
