So the Lord became angry with his people. He turned away from his own children.

Listen to me, you heavens! Pay attention to me, earth! The Lord has said,“ I raised children. I brought them up. But they have refused to obey me.

The Lord became angry with the Israelites. So he handed them over to robbers. The robbers stole everything from them. The Lord handed the Israelites over to their enemies all around them. Israel wasn’t able to fight against them anymore and win.

The Lord’ s temple was like a garden. But he completely destroyed it. He destroyed the place where he used to meet with his people. He made Zion’s people forget their appointed feasts and Sabbath days. When he was very angry, he turned his back on king and priest alike.

“ Didn’t the Lord know you were burning incense in the towns of Judah? Didn’t he care that you were also doing it in the streets of Jerusalem? You and your people of long ago were doing it. Your kings and officials were doing it too. So were the rest of the people in the land.The Lord couldn’t put up any longer with the evil things you were doing. He hated the things you did. So your land became a curse. It became a dry and empty desert. No one lived there. And that’s the way it still is today.You have burned incense to other gods. You have sinned against the Lord. You haven’t obeyed him or his law. You haven’t followed his rules. You haven’t lived up to the terms of the covenant he made with you. That’s why all this trouble has come on you. You have seen it with your own eyes.”

He brags about what his heart desires. He speaks well of those who always want more. He attacks the Lord with his words.

“ Out of all the families on earth I have chosen only you. So I will punish you because you have committed so many sins.”Do two people walk together unless they’ve agreed to do so?

But you are lukewarm. You aren’t hot or cold. So I am going to spit you out of my mouth.

When God saw what the people were doing, he was very angry. He turned away from them completely.

In one month I got rid of three worthless shepherds. The sheep hated me, and I got tired of them.

I will live among you. I will not turn away from you.

“ I love the people of Judah. But they are working out their evil plans along with many others. So what are they doing in my temple? Can meat that is offered to me keep me from punishing you? When you do evil things, you get a lot of pleasure from them.”

For you, God, aren’t happy with anything that is evil. Those who do what is wrong can’t live where you are.
