27. worship stone idolsand sacred polesas if they had created youand had given you life.You have rejected me,but when you're in trouble,you cry to me for help.
28. Go and cry to the gods you made!There should be enough of themto save you,because Judah has as many godsas it has towns.
29. The Lord said to Israel:You accuse me of not saving you,but I say you have rebelled.
30. I tried punishing you,but you refusedto come back to me,and like fierce lionsyou killed my prophets.
