But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and also he caused his son to pass through the fire, like the disgusting things of the nations whom Jehovah had cast out from before the sons of Israel.
But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets until the wrath of Jehovah went up against His people, until there was no healing.
But they were disobedient, and rebelled against You, and cast Your Law behind their backs. And they killed Your prophets who testified against them, to turn them to You. And they worked great blasphemies.
and you shall know that I am Jehovah in whose statutes you have not walked, and My judgments you have not done; yea, as the judgments of the nations who are round about you, you have done.
Yet you have not walked in their ways and not have done according to their disgusting things. As if it were only a little thing, you were even more corrupted than they in all your ways.
And you shall say, So says the Lord Jehovah: The city pours out blood in her midst, that her time may come. And she makes idols against herself, to defile herself.
And she has changed My judgments for wickedness more than the nations, and My laws more than the lands that are round about her. For they have rejected My judgments and My statutes; they have not walked in them.
Therefore, so says the Lord Jehovah: Because you multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, not having walked in My statutes, and not having done My judgments, and you have not done according to the judgments of the nations round about you;
And we have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our rulers, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! The one killing the prophets, and stoning the ones having been sent to her, how often I desired to gather your children in the way a hen gathers her brood under the wings, and you did not desire it.
But I have a few things against you, that you allow the woman Jezebel to teach, the one saying herself to be a prophetess, and to cause My slaves to go astray, and to commit fornication, and to eat idol sacrifices.
