"For the houseof Israeland the houseof JudahHave dealtverytreacherouslywith Me," declaresthe LORD.
From the endsof the earthwe hearsongs,"Gloryto the RighteousOne,"But I say,"Woeto me! Woeto me! Alasfor me! The treacherousdealtreacherously,And the treacherousdealverytreacherously."
"You have not heard,you have not known.Evenfrom longagoyour earhas not been open,BecauseI knewthat you would dealverytreacherously;And you have been calleda rebelfrom birth.
Righteousare You, O LORD,that I would plead[my] casewith You; IndeedI would discussmattersof justicewith You: Whyhas the wayof the wickedprospered?[Why] are allthose who dealin treacheryat ease?
"Surely,as a womantreacherouslydeparts from her lover,Soyou have dealttreacherouslywith Me, O houseof Israel,"declaresthe LORD.
"Goup through her vinerowsand destroy,But do not executea completedestruction;Stripawayher branches,For they are not the LORD'S.
Ohthat I hadin the desertA wayfarers'lodgingplace;That I might leavemy peopleAnd gofrom them! For allof them are adulterers,An assemblyof treacherousmen.
They have dealttreacherouslyagainst the LORD,For they have borneillegitimatechildren.Nowthe newmoonwill devourthem with their land.
But like Adamthey have transgressedthe covenant;Therethey have dealttreacherouslyagainst Me.
