Jeremiah 2:27
Douay-Rheims
Saying to a stock: Thou art my father: and to a stone: thou hast begotten me: they have turned their back to me, and not their face: and in the time of their affliction they will say: Arise, and deliver us.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
Thou art my father--(Contrast Jer 3:4; Isa 64:8). in . . . trouble they will say--namely, to God (Psa 78:34; Isa 26:16). Trouble often brings men to their senses (Luk 15:16-18).
