*
Israel has sinned ;
they have transgressed my covenant which I commanded them ;
they have taken some of the devoted things ;
they have stolen ,
and lied ,
and put them among their own stuff .
*
Therefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies ;
they turn their backs before their enemies ,
because they have become a thing for destruction .
I will be with you no more ,
unless you destroy the devoted things from among you .
*
Up ,
sanctify the people ,
and say , `
Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow ;
for thus says the LORD ,
God of Israel , "
There are devoted things in the midst of you ,
O Israel ;
you cannot stand before your enemies ,
until you take away the devoted things from among you ."
