Jeremiah 2:26-30

26Just as a thief has to suffer dishonor when he is caught, so the people of Israel will suffer dishonor for what they have done. So will their kings and officials, their priests and their prophets.

27They say to a wooden idol, ‘You are my father.’ They say to a stone image, ‘You gave birth to me.’ Yes, they have turned away from me instead of turning to me. Yet when they are in trouble, they say, ‘Come and save us!’

28But where are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them save you when you are in trouble. The sad fact is that you have as many gods as you have towns, Judah.

29“Why do you try to refute me? All of you have rebelled against me,” says the Lord.

30“It did no good for me to punish your people. They did not respond to such correction. You slaughtered your prophets like a voracious lion.”
