Jeremiah 2:28-30

Authorized (King James) Version

²⁸ But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee?
let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble:
for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
²⁹ Wherefore will ye plead with me?
ye all have transgressed against me, saith the Lord.
³⁰ In vain have I smitten your children;
they received no correction:
your own sword hath devoured your prophets,
like a destroying lion.
