Jeremiah 2:26-29

As the thief
<01590>

is ashamed
<01322>

when he is found
<04672> (8735)_,

so is the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

ashamed
<03001> (8689)_;

they, their kings
<04428>_,

their princes
<08269>_,

and their priests
<03548>_,

and their prophets
<05030>_,

Saying
<0559> (8802)

to a stock
<06086>_,

Thou [art] my father
<01>_;

and to a stone
<068>_,

Thou hast brought me forth
<03205> (8804)_:

for they have turned
<06437> (8804)

[their] back
<06203>

unto me, and not [their] face
<06440>_:

but in the time
<06256>

of their trouble
<07451>

they will say
<0559> (8799)_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

and save
<03467> (8685)

us. {brought...: or, begotten me} {their back: Heb. the hinder part of the neck}

But where [are] thy gods
<0430>

that thou hast made
<06213> (8804)

thee? let them arise
<06965> (8799)_,

if they can save
<03467> (8686)

thee in the time
<06256>

of thy trouble
<07451>_:

for [according to] the number
<04557>

of thy cities
<05892>

are thy gods
<0430>_,

O Judah
<03063>_.

{trouble: Heb. evil}

Wherefore will ye plead
<07378> (8799)

with me? ye all have transgressed
<06586> (8804)

against me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.
