Jer 2:28-29 | NETfull | STEP | But where are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them save you when you are in trouble. The sad fact is that you have as many gods as you have towns, Judah.

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 ^{▼▼ 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? ^{▼▼ 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 counter claims that they do not deserve to be punished.}
All of you have rebelled against me,”
says the Lord.
