Jeremiah 2:27-31
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
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’?
King James Version
Chapter 2
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?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
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"?
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
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!’
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
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’?
New International Version
Chapter 2
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’?
New King James Version

are
my father,’
And to a stone, ‘You gave birth to me.’

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
.

They received no correction.
Your sword has devoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
31

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’?
