Jeremiah 2:28-30

Coverdale(i) 28 I shal answere the: Where are now thy goddes, that thou hast made the? byd them stonde vp, and helpe the in the tyme of nede? For loke how many cities thou hast (o Iuda) so many goddes hast thou also. 29 Wherfore the wil ye go to lawe with me, seinge ye all are synners agaynst me, saieth the LORDE? 30 It is but lost laboure, that I smyte youre children, for they receaue not my correction. Youre owne swearde destroyeth youre prophetes, like a deuouringe lyon.
