Jeremiah 2:27

The Message Bible (MSG)

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!'
— Jeremiah 2:27 (MSG)
