My instructions for sacrifices were written in detail, but you ignored them.
In spite of this, they rebelled and disobeyed your laws. They killed your prophets, who warned them to turn back to you, and they cursed your name.
Open my mind and let me discover the wonders of your Law.
You refused correction and rejected my commands.
I have written thirty sayings filled with sound advice.
They have turned against the LORD and can't be trusted. They have refused his teaching
I gave them my laws and teachings, so they would know how to live right.
You priests have rejected me, and my people are destroyed by refusing to obey. Now I'll reject you and forget your children, because you have forgotten my Law.
What good is it to be a Jew? What good is it to be circumcised?
Still, the Law and its commands are holy and correct and good.
