Jeremiah 2:28-30

New International Reader's Version

²⁸Then where are the gods you made for yourselves?
    Let them come when you are in trouble!
    Let them save you if they can!
Judah, you have as many gods
    as you have towns.

²⁹“Why do you bring charges against me?
    All of you have refused to obey me,”
    announces the Lord.
³⁰“I punished your people. But it did not do them any good.
    They did not pay attention when they were corrected.
You have killed your prophets by swords.
    You have swallowed them up like a hungry lion.
