Jeremiah 2:28 WBT

²⁶  As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed: they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,

²⁷  Saying to a stock, Thou [art] my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned [their] back to me, and not [their] face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.

²⁸  But where [are] thy gods that thou hast made for thyself? 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  Why will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD.

³⁰  In vain have I smitten your children; they have received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
