but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until Yahweh’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.

Even young children despise me. If I arise, they speak against me.

“ But now those who are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I considered unworthy to put with my sheep dogs.

Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

So the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said to them,“ It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Look and behold your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”He set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.This thing became a sin; for the people went even as far as Dan to worship before the one there.He made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he went up to the altar. He did so in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made, and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.

but don’t prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house!”

They are children of fools, yes, children of wicked men. They were flogged out of the land.“ Now I have become their song. Yes, I am a byword to them.They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, and don’t hesitate to spit in my face.For he has untied his cord, and afflicted me; and they have thrown off restraint before me.On my right hand rise the rabble. They thrust aside my feet, They cast up against me their ways of destruction.They mar my path. They promote my destruction without anyone’s help.As through a wide breach they come. They roll themselves in amid the ruin.Terrors have turned on me. They chase my honor as the wind. My welfare has passed away as a cloud.“ Now my soul is poured out within me. Days of affliction have taken hold of me.In the night season my bones are pierced in me, and the pains that gnaw me take no rest.My garment is disfigured by great force. It binds me about as the collar of my tunic.He has cast me into the mire. I have become like dust and ashes.I cry to you, and you do not answer me. I stand up, and you gaze at me.You have turned to be cruel to me. With the might of your hand you persecute me.You lift me up to the wind, and drive me with it. You dissolve me in the storm.For I know that you will bring me to death, To the house appointed for all living.“ However doesn’t one stretch out a hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?Didn’t I weep for him who was in trouble? Wasn’t my soul grieved for the needy?When I looked for good, then evil came. When I waited for light, darkness came.My heart is troubled, and doesn’t rest. Days of affliction have come on me.I go mourning without the sun. I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.I am a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches.My skin grows black and peels from me. My bones are burned with heat.Therefore my harp has turned to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of those who weep.

“ Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,

and saying,“ You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,“ He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said,‘ I am the Son of God.’”

“ Though you, Israel, play the prostitute, yet don’t let Judah offend; and don’t come to Gilgal, neither go up to Beth Aven, nor swear,‘ As Yahweh lives.’

But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
