Which you made for yourself?
Let them arise, if they can (B)save you
In the time of your [a]trouble!
For (C)as many as the number of your cities
Are your gods, Judah.

29 “Why do you contend with Me?
You have (D)all revolted against Me,” declares the Lord.
30 (E)In vain I have struck your sons;
They did not accept discipline.
Your (F)sword has devoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
