Jeremiah 2:27

Context

2:27 They say to a wooden idol, 1  ‘You are my father.’

They say to a stone image, ‘You gave birth to me.’ 2 

Yes, they have turned away from me instead of turning to me. 3 

Yet when they are in trouble, they say, ‘Come and save us!’

1 tn Heb “wood…stone…”

2 sn The reference to wood and stone is, of course, a pejorative reference to idols made by human hands. See the next verse where reference is made to “the gods you have made.”

3 tn Heb “they have turned [their] backs to me, not [their] faces.”
