24From our youth, that shameful god
has consumed what our fathers have worked for —
their flocks and herds,
their sons and daughters.
25Let us lie down in our shame;
let our disgrace cover us.
We have sinned against the LORD our God,
both we and our fathers;
from our youth even to this day
we have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.”
— Jeremiah 3:24-25
