¹⁴ Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress.

³⁷ And he will say, Where are their gods, The rock in which they took refuge;

³⁸ Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, `And' drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, Let them be your protection.

²⁶ I said, I would scatter them afar, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men;

²⁷ Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, Lest their adversaries should judge amiss, Lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, And Jehovah hath not done all this.

¹³ And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay; for Jehovah hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.

²⁵ But ye have set at nought all my counsel, And would none of my reproof:

²⁶ I also will laugh in `the day of' your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

²⁷ When your fear cometh as a storm, And your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come upon you.

³ And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

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.
