Jeremiah 2:28 in context

  1. 26As the thief is ashamed when he is found,
    so the house of Israel is ashamed:
    they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets,
  2. 27who tell wood, ‘You are my father,’
    and a stone, ‘You have given birth to me,’
    for they have turned their back to me,
    and not their face;
    but in the time of their trouble they will say, ‘Arise, and save us!’
  3. 28“But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves?
    Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble;
    for you have as many gods as you have towns, O Judah.
  4. 29“Why will you contend with me?
    You all have transgressed against me,” says Yahweh.
  5. 30“I have struck your children in vain.
    They received no correction.
    Your own sword has devoured your prophets,
    like a destroying lion.
