Shall Israel's sons[159] be shamed.

[They and their kings and their princes,

Their priests and their prophets][160]

Who say to a stock “Thou my Father!” 27

To a stone “Thou hast borne me!”

Their[161] backs they have turned to Me

Never their[162] faces.

Yet in time of their trouble they say

“Rise up and save us!”

Where be thy gods thou hast made thee? 28
