Bikos of yor love, Yu dey patient with dem for many years. Yu send yor Spirit wey warn dem thru di profets. But yet, dem nor gri listin! So Yu allow oda nashons attack dem again.
Dem don kontinue di wiked tins wey dia grand-grand papa dem do before, wey make dem nor obey my kommand. Demsef don dey woship oda gods. Both Israel and Judah pipol don break di kovenant wey I make with dia grand-grand papa.
Judah pipol gods plenty, just as di towns wey dem get. And as Jerusalem street plenty rish, na so too di altar wey dem build for Baal juju, plenty too.
Mi, God wey dey mighty, na mi kreate una for Israel and Judah and I go bring wahala kom meet una. Yes! Na una kause dis wahala for unasef, bikos una don sin; una make mi vex wen una offa sakrifice give Baal juju.”
But dem nor gri listin or obey mi. Instead, dem dey do as dia sturbon and wiked heart tell dem. Na dis make mi curse dem, bikos of my kovenant and dem nor gri do wetin I kommand.”
Dis wiked pipol nor gri obey mi. Dem dey follow dia sturbon and wiked heart kon dey woship and serve oda gods. So dem go bi like dis nika wey nor get value again.
Di house for Jerusalem; Judah king house and di pipol house wey dem for don burn incense give di stars kon pour wine as ofrin give oda gods, all of dem go dirty, just as Tofet dirty.” ’ ”
But dem nor gri listin or hear mi. Dem dey do wetin dia sturbon and wiked heart sey make dem do. Instead make dem dey betta, dem kon worse pass as dem bi before.
