42 Then aGod turned and gave them up to worship bthe host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets:
c‘Did you offer Me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness,
O house of Israel?
c‘Did you offer Me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness,
O house of Israel?
43 You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
And the star of your god Remphan,
Images which you made to worship;
And aI will carry you away beyond Babylon.’
And the star of your god Remphan,
Images which you made to worship;
And aI will carry you away beyond Babylon.’
God’s True Tabernacle
44 “Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as He appointed, instructing Moses ato make it according to the pattern that he had seen,
45 awhich our fathers, having received it in turn, also brought with Joshua into the land possessed by the Gentiles, bwhom God drove out before the face of our fathers until the cdays of David,
46 awho found favor before God and basked to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob.
47 aBut Solomon built Him a house.
48 “However, athe Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says:
49 ‘Heavena is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
What house will you build for Me? says the Lord,
Or what is the place of My rest?
And earth is My footstool.
What house will you build for Me? says the Lord,
Or what is the place of My rest?
50 Has My hand not amade all these things?’
Israel Resists the Holy Spirit
51 “You astiff-necked and buncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.
