Bible References

Turned

Who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
And to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their back to Me,
And not their face;
But in the time of their trouble they will say,
‘Arise and save us.’

Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and

went backward and not forward.

‘Like an east wind I will scatter them
Before the enemy;
I will show them My back and not My face

In the day of their calamity.’”

Then He brought me into the inner court of the Lord’s house. And behold, at the entrance to the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east; and they were prostrating themselves eastward toward the sun.

The more

they called them,

The more they went from them;
They kept sacrificing to the Baals
And burning incense to idols.

But they refused to pay attention and

turned a stubborn shoulder and

stopped their ears from hearing.
