What does Jeremiah 2:27 mean?

They talk to a piece of wood, calling it 'Father,' and to a stone, saying, 'You gave me life.' They’ve turned their backs on me, not their faces. But when trouble comes, they beg me, 'Come save us!' Jeremiah 2:27 - Modern Text Bible

(Israel treats lifeless idols as their creators, ignoring God until they’re desperate for help.)
