Jeremiah 3:23-25

Thomson(i) 23 False indeed have been the hills and the strength of the mountains, but from the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel. This shame consumed the labours of our fathers from our youth; Their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. 24 We lay down in our shame and our dishonour covered us; because we sinned against our God; both we and our fathers from our youth to this day; and hearkened not to the voice of the Lord our God.
