²⁸ But where are the gods that you made for yourselves?
    Ask them to save you when trouble comes!
    You have enough gods to give you help.
Yes, people of Judah,
    your gods are as many as your towns!
²⁹ You cannot argue against me.
    You have all turned against me.’
That is what the Lord says.
³⁰ ‘When I punished your people,
    they did not change how they lived.
When I sent my prophets to you,
    you killed them as if you were a hungry lion.’
