Jeremiah 3:23-25
EasyEnglish Bible
Jeremiah 3:23-25
EasyEnglish Bible
23 The false gods that we worship on the hills have deceived us.
Our wild parties on the mountains have not helped us.
Only the Lord our God can really save Israel.
24 Since we were a young nation,
we have seen all our good things disappear.
The useless gods that we worshipped have taken them.
They took away the things that our ancestors worked to get.
They took away our sheep and our cows.
They even took away our sons and our daughters.
25 We are ashamed to agree that this is true.
We must accept the shame that we deserve.
We and our ancestors have done bad things
against the Lord our God.
Since long ago, we have not obeyed him,
and even today, we still do not listen to him.” ’
Jeremiah 3:23-25
New International Version
Jeremiah 3:23-25
New International Version
23 Surely the idolatrous commotion on the hills(A)
and mountains is a deception;
surely in the Lord our God
is the salvation(B) of Israel.
24 From our youth shameful(C) gods have consumed
the fruits of our ancestors’ labor—
their flocks and herds,
their sons and daughters.
25 Let us lie down in our shame,(D)
and let our disgrace cover us.
We have sinned(E) against the Lord our God,
both we and our ancestors;(F)
from our youth(G) till this day
we have not obeyed(H) the Lord our God.”
