Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen,.... For they were their choice, and not what they were obliged to serve through persecution, and by compulsion of others, and whom they needed not, having the Lord Jehovah to be their God; and they are bid not seriously, but in an ironical or sarcastic way, to call upon them for help in this their time of distress, in whose power it was not to relieve them:
let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation; if they can, whom you have served in your prosperity.

Chosen - You have not been forced to worship those gods by your oppressors; but you have freely chosen them before me.
