In his time of distress, this same King Ahaz acted even more unfaithfully to Adonai.
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, “This is what Adonai, the God of the Hebrews, says: How long would you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so they may serve Me.
Where will you be struck again, as you stray away more and more? The whole head is sick, the whole heart faint.
Because of the iniquity of his unjust gain I was angry; I struck him; I hid My face; I was angry—but he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
Adonai, do Your eyes not look for faithfulness? You struck them, but they did not grieve. You disciplined them, but they refused correction. They made their faces harder than stone. They refused to return.
You also bear your own shame, since you have interceded for your sisters. Because of your sins that you committed, more treacherous than theirs, they appear more righteous than you. So you also, be ashamed! Bear your disgrace, since you have justified your sisters.
So you will remember, be ashamed and never open your mouth again because of your disgrace, when I have forgiven you of all that you have done.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
Yes, I will fling filth on you. I will treat you with contempt and set you up as a spectacle.
“So I also have made you despised and lowly to all the people, because you are not keeping My ways but show favoritism in Torah.”
“Do not give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls before pigs; otherwise they will trample them under their feet, then turn and rip you to shreds.
“Not many days later, the younger son gathered everything and traveled to a far country, and there he squandered his inheritance on wild living.
Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine came against that country, and he began to be in need.
And he was longing to fill up on the carob pods the pigs were eating, but no one was giving him any.
But now, having been set free from sin and having become enslaved to God, you have your fruit resulting in holiness. And the outcome is eternal life.
For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deluded, enslaved to various desires and pleasures, spending our lives in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.
