Jeremiah 2:26 - The Message

"Just as a thief is chagrined, but only when caught,
   so the people of Israel are chagrined,
Caught along with their kings and princes,
   their priests and prophets.
They walk up to a tree and say, ’My father!’
   They pick up a stone and say, ’My mother! You bore me!’
All I ever see of them is their backsides.
   They never look me in the face.
But when things go badly, they don’t hesitate to come running,
   calling out, ’Get a move on! Save us!’
Why not go to your handcrafted gods you’re so fond of?
   Rouse them. Let them save you from your bad times.
You’ve got more gods, Judah,
   than you know what to do with.
