That sniffs at the wind in her desire;
In her time of mating, who can turn her away?
All those who seek her will not weary themselves;
In her month they will find her.

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,
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.’
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.
Let them arise,
If they bcan save you in the time of your1 trouble;

30 “In vain I have achastened your children;
They breceived no correction.
Your sword has cdevoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
They breceived no correction.
Your sword has cdevoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
