Jeremiah 2:28-30

New Catholic Bible

²⁸ Where are the gods you have made for yourself?
    Let them come to save you
    in your time of trouble.
For you have as many towns
    as you have gods, O Judah.
²⁹ Why do you dare to plead with me?
    You have all rebelled against me, says the Lord.
³⁰ In vain I struck down your children,
    but they refused to accept my correction.
Your own sword has devoured your prophets
    like a ravening lion.
