Jeremiah 2:28
But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
KJV
Ubi sunt dii tui quos fecisti tibi ? surgant, et liberent te in tempore afflictionis tuæ : secundum numerum quippe civitatum tuarum erant dii tui, Juda.
Vulgate
καὶ ποῦ εἰσιν οἱ θεοί σου οὓς ἐποίησας σεαυτῷ; εἰ ἀναστήσονται καὶ σώσουσιν ἐν καιρῷ τῆς κακώσεώς σου; ὅτι κατ’ ἀριθμὸν τῶν πόλεών σου ἦσαν θεοί σου, Ἰούδα, καὶ κατ’ ἀριθμὸν διόδων τῆς Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἔθυον τῇ Βάαλ.
LXX
But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
