Early the next day the people sacrificed burnt offerings and brought communion sacrifices. Then they sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to revel.
On seeing this, Aaron built an altar in front of the calf and proclaimed, “Tomorrow is a feast of the Lord.”
Upon garments taken in pledge they recline beside any altar. Wine at treasury expense they drink in their temples.
I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into dirges. I will cover the loins of all with sackcloth and make every head bald. I will make it like the time of mourning for an only child, and its outcome like a day of bitter weeping.
These then invited the people to the sacrifices of their god, and the people ate of the sacrifices and bowed down to their god.
And do not become idolaters, as some of them did, as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to revel.”
The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and be glad and exchange gifts because these two prophets tormented the inhabitants of the earth.
