Jeremiah 2:27-29
New Century Version
Jeremiah 2:27-29
New Century Version
27 They say to things of wood, ‘You are my father,’
and to idols of stone, ‘You gave birth to me.’
Those people won’t look at me;
they have turned their backs to me.
But when they get into trouble, they say,
‘Come and save us!’
28 Where are the idols you made for yourselves?
Let them come and save you
when you are in trouble!
People of Judah, you have as many idols
as you have towns!
29 “Why do you complain to me?
All of you have turned against me,” says the Lord.

You have all(J) rebelled against me,”
