Jeremiah 3:23-25

New Catholic Bible

²³ The hills are truly a delusion,
    as is the tumult on the mountains.
Truly in the Lord, our God alone
    is the salvation of Israel.
²⁴ Ever since we were young,
    Baal has devoured everything
    for which our fathers toiled:
their flocks and their herds,
    their sons and their daughters.
²⁵ Let us lie down in our shame
    and let our dishonor cover us.
For we have sinned against the Lord, our God,
    we and our ancestors,
from our youth even to this very day,
    and we failed to obey the voice of the Lord, our God.
