This is what the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, says to one who is despised, to one abhorred by people, , to a servant of rulers: ‘Kings will see, princes will stand up, and they will all bow down because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel #– #and he has chosen you.’
All their evil appears at Gilgal, for there I began to hate them. I will drive them from my house because of their evil, wicked actions. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious.
Yet in spite of this, while they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or abhor them so as to destroy them and break my covenant with them, since I am the Lord their God.
You are the daughter of your mother, who despised her husband and children. You are the sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hethite and your father an Amorite.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will reject you from serving as my priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your sons.
