Listen
to the word
of the LORD,
O sons
of Israel,
For the LORD
has a case
against
the inhabitants
of the land,
Because
there
is no
faithfulness
or kindness
Or knowledge
of God
in the land.
2
There is swearing,
deception,
murder,
stealing
and adultery.
They employ violence,
so that bloodshed
follows
bloodshed.
3
Therefore
the land
mourns,
And everyone
who lives
in it languishes
Along with the beasts
of the field
and the birds
of the sky,
And also
the fish
of the sea
disappear.
4
Yet
let no
one
find
fault,
and let none
offer reproof;
For your people
are like those who contend
with the priest.
5
So you
will stumble
by day,
And the prophet
also
will stumble
with you by night;
And I will destroy
your mother.
6
My people
are destroyed
for lack
of knowledge.
Because
you have rejected
knowledge,
I also
will reject
you from being My priest.
Since you have forgotten
the law
of your God,
I also
will forget
your children.
7
The more they multiplied,
the more
they sinned
against Me; I will change
their glory
into shame.
8
They feed
on the sin
of My people
And direct
their desire
toward
their iniquity.
9
And it will be, like people,
like priest;
So I will punish
them for their ways
And repay
them for their deeds.
10
They will eat,
but not have enough;
They will play the harlot,
but not increase,
Because
they have stopped
giving heed
to the LORD.
11
Harlotry,
wine
and new
wine
take
away the understanding.
12
My people
consult
their wooden
idol, and their diviner's wand
informs
them; For a spirit
of harlotry
has led them astray,
And they have played the harlot,
departing from their God.
13
They offer sacrifices
on the tops
of the mountains
And burn incense
on the hills,
Under
oak,
poplar
and terebinth,
Because
their shade
is pleasant.
Therefore
your daughters
play the harlot
And your brides
commit adultery.
14
I will not punish
your daughters
when
they play
the harlot
Or your brides
when
they commit adultery,
For the men themselves
go apart
with harlots
And offer sacrifices
with temple prostitutes;
So the people
without
understanding
are ruined.
15
Though
you, Israel,
play the harlot,
Do not let Judah
become guilty;
Also do not go
to Gilgal,
Or go
up to Beth-aven
And take the oath:
"As the LORD
lives!"
16
Since
Israel
is stubborn
Like a stubborn
heifer,
Can the LORD
now
pasture
them Like a lamb
in a large field?
17
Ephraim
is joined
to idols;
Let him alone.
18
Their liquor
gone,
They play
the harlot continually;
Their rulers
dearly
love
shame.
19
The wind
wraps
them in its wings,
And they will be ashamed
because
of their sacrifices.
