Jeremiah 3:23-25
International Children’s Bible
23 It was foolish to worship idols on the hills.
All the loud noises on the mountains were a lie.
Surely the salvation of Israel
comes from the Lord our God.
24 Since we were young, shameful gods have eaten up in sacrifice
everything our fathers worked for.
The shameful gods have taken our fathers’ sheep and cattle.
They have taken our fathers’ sons and daughters.
25 Let us lie down in our shame.
And let our shame cover us like a blanket.
We have sinned against the Lord our God.
Both we and our fathers have sinned.
Since we were children and until now,
we have not obeyed the Lord our God.”
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.”
