So is the house of Israel ashamed;
They and their kings and their princes, and their priests and their aprophets,
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.’
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.
They breceived no correction.
Your sword has cdevoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
Or a land of darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘We1 are lords;
aWe will come no more to You’?
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people ahave forgotten Me days without number.
| << Jeremiah 2:27 | Jeremiah 2:29 >> |
