‏ Jeremiah 2:28-29

28 But where are the gods you made for yourselves?
Let them save you when you are in trouble.
The sad fact is that ^{▼▼tn This is an attempt to render the Hebrew particle כִּי (ki, “for, indeed”) contextually.} you have as many gods
as you have towns, Judah.
29 Why do you try to refute me? ^{▼▼sn This is still part of the Lord’s case against Israel. See 2:9 for the use of the same Hebrew verb. The Lord here denies their counterclaims that they do not deserve to be punished.}
All of you have rebelled against me,”
says the Lord.
