Jeremiah 2:28

“And He will say, ‘Where are their gods, The rock in which they sought refuge?

“For your gods are the number of your cities, O Judah; and the number of the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the shameful thing, altars to burn incense to Baal.

‘Alas! For that day is great, There is none like it; And it is the time of Jacob’s distress, But he will be saved from it.

“Where then are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you or against this land’?

Israel is a luxuriant vine; He produces fruit for himself. The more abundant his fruit, The more altars he abounded; The better his land, The better he made the sacred pillars.

“What profit is the graven image when its maker has engraved it, Or a molten image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own making When he fashions speechless idols.

“Woe to him who says to a piece of wood, ‘Awake!’ To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’ And that is your teacher? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, And there is no breath at all inside it.
