27 say to a tree, “You are my father,”

and to a stone, “You gave birth to me.”

For they have turned their back to me

and not their face,j

yet in their time of disasterk they beg,

“Rise up and save us!”

28 But where are your gods you made for yourself?

Let them rise up and save youl

in your time of disaster if they can,

for your gods are as numerous as your cities, Judah.
