And your backslidings will rebuke you.
Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing
That you have forsaken the Lord your God,
And the1 fear of Me is not in you,”
Says the Lord God of hosts.
And byou said, ‘I will not transgress,’
When con every high hill and under every green tree
You lay down, dplaying the harlot.
How then have you turned before Me
Into bthe degenerate plant of an alien vine?
Yet your iniquity is amarked before Me,” says the Lord God.
I have not gone after the Baals’?
See your way in the valley;
Know what you have done:
You are a swift dromedary breaking loose in her ways,
That sniffs at the wind in her desire;
In her time of mating, who can turn her away?
All those who seek her will not weary themselves;
In her month they will find her.
But you said, a‘There is no hope.
No! For I have loved baliens, and after them I will go.’
So is the house of Israel ashamed;
They and their kings and their princes, and their priests and their aprophets,
And to a astone, ‘You gave birth to me.’
For they have turned their back to Me, and not their face.
But in the time of their btrouble
They will say, ‘Arise and save us.’
Let them arise,
If they bcan save you in the time of your1 trouble;
For caccording to the number of your cities
Are your gods, O Judah.
They breceived no correction.
Your sword has cdevoured your prophets
Like a destroying lion.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
Or a land of darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘We1 are lords;
aWe will come no more to You’?
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people ahave forgotten Me days without number.
Therefore you have also taught
The wicked women your ways.
aThe blood of the lives of the poor innocents.
I have not found it by1 secret search,
But plainly on all these things.
Surely His anger shall turn from me.’
Behold, bI will plead My case against you,
cBecause you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
Also byou shall be ashamed of Egypt cas you were ashamed of Assyria.
With your hands on ayour head;
For the Lord has rejected your trusted allies,
And you will bnot prosper by them.
