Jeremiah 3:23-25
Easy-to-Read Version
Jeremiah 3:23-25
Easy-to-Read Version
23 It was foolish to worship idols on the hills.
All the loud parties on the mountains were wrong.
Surely the salvation of Israel
comes from the Lord our God.
24 That terrible false god Baal has eaten everything our fathers owned.
This has happened since we were children.
That terrible false god took our fathers’ sheep and cattle
and their sons and daughters.
25 Let us lie down in our shame.
Let our shame cover us like a blanket.
We have sinned against the Lord our God.
We and our fathers have sinned.
We have not obeyed the Lord our God
from the time we were children.’”
Jeremiah 3:23-25

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.”
