Jeremiah 2:27
Compare all
25 Withhold your foot from being unshod, and your throat from thirst.
But you said, a‘There is no hope.
No! For I have loved baliens, and after them I will go.’ 
26 “As the thief is ashamed when he is found out,
So is the house of Israel ashamed;
They and their kings and their princes, and their priests and their aprophets, 
27 Saying to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
And to a astone, ‘You gave birth to me.’
For they have turned their back to Me, and not their face.
But in the time of their btrouble
They will say, ‘Arise and save us.’ 
28 But awhere are your gods that you have made for yourselves?
Let them arise,
If they bcan save you in the time of your1 trouble;
For caccording to the number of your cities
Are your gods, O Judah. 
29 “Why will you plead with Me?
You all have transgressed against Me,” says the Lord.

Jeremiah 2:27

Thou art my father - By thee we have been produced, and by thee we are sustained. This was the property of the true God; for he is the Author and Supporter of being. How deeply fallen and brutishly ignorant must they be when they could attribute this to the stock of a tree!
