Jeremiah 2:26-28
Darby Translation
26 As a thief is ashamed when he is found, so shall the house of Israel be ashamed—they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets—
27 saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth; for they have turned the back unto me, and not the face; and in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us!
28 Where then are thy gods that thou hast made for thyself? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for as the number of thy cities, are thy gods, O Judah.

Jeremiah 2:26-28
New International Version
26 “As a thief is disgraced(A) when he is caught,
so the people of Israel are disgraced—
they, their kings and their officials,
their priests(B) and their prophets.(C)
27 They say to wood,(D) ‘You are my father,’
and to stone,(E) ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs(F) to me
and not their faces;(G)
yet when they are in trouble,(H) they say,
‘Come and save(I) us!’
28 Where then are the gods(J) you made for yourselves?
Let them come if they can save you
when you are in trouble!(K)
For you, Judah, have as many gods
as you have towns.(L)
