Jeremiah 2:26, 27, 36, 37

“As a thief is disgraced when he is caught, so the people of Israel are disgraced— they, their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets.

They say to wood, ‘You are my father,’ and to stone, ‘You gave me birth.’ They have turned their backs to me and not their faces; yet when they are in trouble, they say, ‘Come and save us!’

Why do you go about so much, changing your ways? You will be disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria.

You will also leave that place with your hands on your head, for the LORD has rejected those you trust; you will not be helped by them.
