Jeremiah 2:26-36
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
26
'Like the shame of a thief when he is discovered,
So the house of Israel is shamed;
They, their kings, their leaders,
Their priests, and their prophets,
27
Who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
And to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned
their
backs to Me,
And not
their
faces;
But in the time of their trouble they will say,
‘Arise and save us!’
28
But where are your gods
Which you made for yourself?
Let them arise, if they can save you
In the time of your trouble!
For
as many as
the number of your cities
Are your gods, Judah.
29
'Why do you contend with Me?
You have all revolted against Me,' declares the
Lord
.
30
'In vain I have struck your sons;
They did not accept discipline.
Your sword has devoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
31
You generation, look to the word of the
Lord
.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
Or a land of thick darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘We
are free to
roam;
We will no longer come to You’?
32
Can a virgin forget her jewelry,
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people have forgotten Me
For days without number.
33
How well you prepare your way
To seek love!
Therefore even to the wicked women
You have taught your ways.
34
Also on your skirts is found
The lifeblood of the innocent poor;
You did not find them breaking in.
But in spite of all these things,
35
You said, ‘I am innocent;
Surely His anger is turned away from me.’
Behold, I will enter into judgment with you
Because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
36
Why do you go around so much
Changing your way?
Also, you will be put to shame by Egypt,
Just as you were put to shame by Assyria.
King James Version
Chapter 2
26
As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,
27
Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
28
But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
29
Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the
Lord
.
30
In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
31
O generation, see ye the word of the
Lord
. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
32
Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
33
Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
34
Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
35
Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
36
Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
26
Like the shame of a thief when he is caught,
so the house of Israel has been put to shame.
They, their kings, their officials,
their priests, and their prophets
27
say to a tree, "You are my father,"
and to a stone, "You gave birth to me."
For they have turned their back to me
and not their face,
yet in their time of disaster they beg,
"Rise up and save us!"
28
But where are your gods you made for yourself?
Let them rise up and save you
in your time of disaster if they can,
for your gods are as numerous as your cities, Judah.
29
Why do you bring a case against me?
All of you have rebelled against me. This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
30
I have struck down your children in vain;
they would not accept discipline.
Your own sword has devoured your prophets
like a ravaging lion.
31
Evil generation,
pay attention to the word of the
Lord
!
Have I been a wilderness to Israel
or a land of dense darkness?
Why do my people claim,
"We will go where we want;
we will no longer come to you"?
32
Can a young woman forget her jewelry
or a bride her wedding sash?
Yet my people have forgotten me
for countless days.
33
How skillfully you pursue love;
you also teach evil women your ways.
34
Moreover, your skirts are stained
with the blood of the innocent poor.
You did not catch them breaking and entering.
But in spite of all these things
35
you claim, "I am innocent.
His anger is sure to turn away from me."
But I will certainly judge you
because you have said, "I have not sinned."
36
How unstable you are,
constantly changing your ways!
You will be put to shame by Egypt
just as you were put to shame by Assyria.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
26
'Israel is like a thief
who feels shame only when he gets caught.
They, their kings, officials, priests, and prophets —
all are alike in this.
27
To an image carved from a piece of wood they say,
‘You are my father.’
To an idol chiseled from a block of stone they say,
‘You are my mother.’
They turn their backs on me,
but in times of trouble they cry out to me,
‘Come and save us!’
28
But why not call on these gods you have made?
When trouble comes, let them save you if they can!
For you have as many gods
as there are towns in Judah.
29
Why do you accuse me of doing wrong?
You are the ones who have rebelled,'
says the
Lord
.
30
'I have punished your children,
but they did not respond to my discipline.
You yourselves have killed your prophets
as a lion kills its prey.
31
'O my people, listen to the words of the
Lord
!
Have I been like a desert to Israel?
Have I been to them a land of darkness?
Why then do my people say, ‘At last we are free from God!
We don’t need him anymore!’
32
Does a young woman forget her jewelry,
or a bride her wedding dress?
Yet for years on end
my people have forgotten me.
33
'How you plot and scheme to win your lovers.
Even an experienced prostitute could learn from you!
34
Your clothing is stained with the blood of the innocent and the poor,
though you didn’t catch them breaking into your houses!
35
And yet you say,
‘I have done nothing wrong.
Surely God isn’t angry with me!’
But now I will punish you severely
because you claim you have not sinned.
36
First here, then there —
you flit from one ally to another asking for help.
But your new friends in Egypt will let you down,
just as Assyria did before.
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
26
"As a thief is shamed when caught,
so the house of Israel shall be shamed:
they, their kings, their officials,
their priests, and their prophets,
27
who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their back to me,
and not their face.
But in the time of their trouble they say,
‘Arise and save us!’
28
But where are your gods
that you made for yourself?
Let them arise, if they can save you,
in your time of trouble;
for as many as your cities
are your gods, O Judah.
29
"Why do you contend with me?
You have all transgressed against me, declares the
Lord
.
30
In vain have I struck your children;
they took no correction;
your own sword devoured your prophets
like a ravening lion.
31
And you, O generation, behold the word of the
Lord
.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
or a land of thick darkness?
Why then do my people say, ‘We are free,
we will come no more to you’?
32
Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
or a bride her attire?
Yet my people have forgotten me
days without number.
33
"How well you direct your course
to seek love!
So that even to wicked women
you have taught your ways.
34
Also on your skirts is found
the lifeblood of the guiltless poor;
you did not find them breaking in.
Yet in spite of all these things
35
you say, ‘I am innocent;
surely his anger has turned from me.’
Behold, I will bring you to judgment
for saying, ‘I have not sinned.’
36
How much you go about,
changing your way!
You shall be put to shame by Egypt
as you were put to shame by Assyria.
New International Version
Chapter 2
26
"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.
27
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!’
28
Where then are the gods you made for yourselves?
Let them come if they can save you
when you are in trouble!
For you, Judah, have as many gods
as you have towns.
29
"Why do you bring charges against me?
You have all rebelled against me,"
declares the
Lord
.
30
"In vain I punished your people;
they did not respond to correction.
Your sword has devoured your prophets
like a ravenous lion.
31
"You of this generation, consider the word of the
Lord
:
"Have I been a desert to Israel
or a land of great darkness?
Why do my people say, ‘We are free to roam;
we will come to you no more’?
32
Does a young woman forget her jewelry,
a bride her wedding ornaments?
Yet my people have forgotten me,
days without number.
33
How skilled you are at pursuing love!
Even the worst of women can learn from your ways.
34
On your clothes is found
the lifeblood of the innocent poor,
though you did not catch them breaking in.
Yet in spite of all this
35
you say, ‘I am innocent;
he is not angry with me.’
But I will pass judgment on you
because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
36
Why do you go about so much,
changing your ways?
You will be disappointed by Egypt
as you were by Assyria.
New King James Version
Chapter 2
26
“As the thief is ashamed when he is found out,
So is the house of Israel ashamed;
They and their kings and their princes, and their priests and their prophets,
27
Saying to a tree, ‘You
are
my father,’
And to a stone, ‘You gave birth to me.’
For they have turned
their
back to Me, and not
their
face.
But in the time of their trouble
They will say, ‘Arise and save us.’
28
But where
are
your gods that you have made for yourselves?
Let them arise,
If they can save you in the time of your trouble;
For
according to
the number of your cities
Are your gods, O Judah.
29
“Why will you plead with Me?
You all have transgressed against Me,” says the
Lord
.
30
“In vain I have chastened your children;
They received no correction.
Your sword has devoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
31
“O generation, see the word of the
Lord
!
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
Or a land of darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘We are lords;
We will come no more to You’?
32
Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
Or
a bride her attire?
Yet My people have forgotten Me days without number.
33
“Why do you beautify your way to seek love?
Therefore you have also taught
The wicked women your ways.
34
Also on your skirts is found
The blood of the lives of the poor innocents.
I have not found it by secret search,
But plainly on all these things.
35
Yet you say, ‘Because I am innocent,
Surely His anger shall turn from me.’
Behold, I will plead My case against you,
Because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
36
Why do you gad about so much to change your way?
Also you shall be ashamed of Egypt as you were ashamed of Assyria.
