Woe to you, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David settled! Add year to year and let your cycle of festivals go on.

Jerusalem, how terrible it will be for you! Ariel, you are the city where David made his home. The years will come and go. Keep on celebrating your regular feasts.

Ah, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts run their round.

“ What sorrow awaits Ariel, the City of David. Year after year you celebrate your feasts.

Woe to Ariel, Ariel, the city where David camped! Continue year after year; let the festivals recur.

Woe, Ariel, Ariel the city where David once camped! Add year to year, keep your feasts on schedule.

“ Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! Add year to year; Let feasts come around.

Ho Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! add ye year to year; let the feasts come round:

Woe to Ariel, Ariel, the city where David camped! Continue year after year; let the festivals recur.

Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city[ where] David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;

So David lived in the fortress and called it the City of David. David built all around it, from the terrace inwards.

“ Go to Bethel and rebel! At Gilgal rebel some more! Bring your sacrifices in the morning, your tithes on the third day!Burn a thank offering of bread made with yeast! Make a public display of your voluntary offerings! For you love to do this, you Israelites.” The sovereign LORD is speaking!

They will not pour out drink offerings of wine to the LORD; they will not please him with their sacrifices. Their sacrifices will be like bread eaten while in mourning; all those who eat them will make themselves ritually unclean. For their bread will be only to satisfy their appetite; it will not come into the temple of the LORD.

and the altar hearth, 7 feet, and from the altar hearth four horns projecting upward.Now the altar hearth is a perfect square, 21 feet long and 21 feet wide.

The one who slaughters a bull also strikes down a man; the one who sacrifices a lamb also breaks a dog’s neck; the one who presents an offering includes pig’s blood with it; the one who offers incense also praises an idol. They have decided to behave this way; they enjoy these disgusting practices.

With what should I enter the LORD’s presence? With what should I bow before the sovereign God? Should I enter his presence with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?Will the LORD accept a thousand rams, or ten thousand streams of olive oil? Should I give him my firstborn child as payment for my rebellion, my offspring– my own flesh and blood– for my sin?

They offer up sacrificial gifts to me, and eat the meat, but the LORD does not accept their sacrifices. Soon he will remember their wrongdoing, he will punish their sins, and they will return to Egypt.

Although they bring their flocks and herds to seek the favor of the LORD, They will not find him– he has withdrawn himself from them!

For the law possesses a shadow of the good things to come but not the reality itself, and is therefore completely unable, by the same sacrifices offered continually, year after year, to perfect those who come to worship.

“ Of what importance to me are your many sacrifices?” says the LORD.“ I am stuffed with burnt sacrifices of rams and the fat from steers. The blood of bulls, lambs, and goats I do not want.When you enter my presence, do you actually think I want this– animals trampling on my courtyards?Do not bring any more meaningless offerings; I consider your incense detestable! You observe new moon festivals, Sabbaths, and convocations, but I cannot tolerate sin-stained celebrations!I hate your new moon festivals and assemblies; they are a burden that I am tired of carrying.When you spread out your hands in prayer, I look the other way; when you offer your many prayers, I do not listen, because your hands are covered with blood.

At that time the sovereign master, the LORD who commands armies, called for weeping and mourning, for shaved heads and sackcloth.But look, there is outright celebration! You say,“ Kill the ox and slaughter the sheep, eat meat and drink wine. Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

The LORD said to the people of Judah,“ The LORD God of Israel who rules over all says:‘ You might as well go ahead and add the meat of your burnt offerings to that of the other sacrifices and eat it, too!

They will surrender their stronghold because of fear; their officers will be afraid of the LORD’s battle flag.” This is what the LORD says– the one whose fire is in Zion, whose firepot is in Jerusalem.
