TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:28 The Israelites were foolishly devoted to many gods (11:13; Deut 32:37; Judg 10:14; 2 Kgs 17:30-31), who were all powerless to help them.
• Jeremiah addressed the individual tribe of Judah, the people standing before him.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Yet where are the gods that you made for yourselves?

(Some words not found in UHB: and,where gods,your which/who you(ms)_have_done/made for,yourself arise if save,you in/on/at/with,time trouble,your that/for/because/then/when many towns,your they_were gods,your Yehuda )

With this question God implies that people should ask the gods they worship to help them. He uses this irony to show that he is angry that they worship other gods. Alternate translation: “You should ask the gods you made to help you.” or “You do not ask the gods you made to help you.” (See also: figs-irony)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

(Occurrence 0) Let them arise if they wish to save you in your time of troubles

(Some words not found in UHB: and,where gods,your which/who you(ms)_have_done/made for,yourself arise if save,you in/on/at/with,time trouble,your that/for/because/then/when many towns,your they_were gods,your Yehuda )

God implies that false gods should help the people who worship them. He knows that false gods cannot help people. When he said this he was using irony to show that he was angry that his people worshiped false gods. Alternate translation: “You do not ask them because know you that they cannot save you in your time of troubles”
