*
Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem ?
*
The children gather wood ,
and the fathers kindle the fire ,
and the women knead their dough ,
to make cakes to the queen of heaven ,
and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods ,
that they may provoke me to anger .
*
Do they provoke me to anger ?
saith the LORD :
do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces ?
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Behold ,
mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place ,
upon man ,
and upon beast ,
and upon the trees of the field ,
and upon the fruit of the ground ;
and it shall burn ,
and shall not be quenched .
*
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #;
Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices ,
and eat flesh .
*
For I spake not unto your fathers ,
nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt ,
concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices :
*
But this thing commanded I them ,
saying ,
Obey my voice ,
and I will be your God ,
and ye shall be my people :
and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you ,
that it may be well unto you .
*
But they hearkened not ,
nor inclined their ear ,
but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart ,
and went backward ,
and not forward .
*
Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets ,
daily rising up early and sending them :
*
Yet they hearkened not unto me ,
nor inclined their ear ,
but hardened their neck :
they did worse than their fathers .
*
Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them ;
but they will not hearken to thee :
thou shalt also call unto them ;
but they will not answer thee .
*
But thou shalt say unto them ,
This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God ,
nor receiveth correction :
truth is perished ,
and is cut off from their mouth .
