Let them arise,
If they bcan save you in the time of your1 trouble;
For caccording to the number of your cities
Are your gods, O Judah.
They breceived no correction.
Your sword has cdevoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
Or a land of darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘We1 are lords;
aWe will come no more to You’?
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people ahave forgotten Me days without number.

Jeremiah 2:30
Your own sword hath detoured your prophets - An allusion probably to Manasseh II Kings 21:16. Death was the usual fate of the true prophet Nehemiah 9:26; Matthew 23:37.
