Those two prophets did very bad things among the people of Israel. They did the sin of adultery {\cf2\super [227]} with their neighbors’ wives. They also spoke lies and said those lies were a message from me, the Lord. I did not tell them to do those things. I know what they have done. I am a witness.” This message is from the Lord.
You ask, “Why are our gifts not accepted by the Lord?” Why? Because the Lord saw the bad things you did—he is a witness {\cf2\super [14]} against you. He saw you cheat on your wife. You have been married to that woman since you were young. She was your girlfriend. Then you made your vows {\cf2\super [15]} to each other—and she became your wife. \{But you cheated on her\}.
Then I will come to you—and I will do the right thing. I will be like a person that is ready to tell the judge about the bad things people did. Some people do evil magic. Some people do the sin of adultery. {\cf2\super [19]} Some people make false promises. Some people cheat their workers—they don’t pay them the money they promised. People don’t help widows and orphans. {\cf2\super [20]} People don’t help strangers. People don’t respect me!” The Lord All-Powerful said these things.
