Jeremiah 2:29
Compare all
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.
30 “In vain I have achastened your children;
They breceived no correction.
Your sword has cdevoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion. 
31 “O generation, see the word of the Lord!
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’? 
32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people ahave forgotten Me days without number. 
33 “Why do you beautify your way to seek love?
Therefore you have also taught
The wicked women your ways.
34 Also on your skirts is found
aThe blood of the lives of the poor innocents.
I have not found it by1 secret search,
But plainly on all these things.
