The look on their faces is a witness against them. They show off their sin, just as the people of Sodom did. They don’t even try to hide it. How terrible it will be for them! They have brought trouble on themselves.

Israel’s pride proves that they are guilty. The people of Ephraim trip and fall because they have sinned. Judah falls down along with them.

I have a message from God in my heart. It is about the evil ways of anyone who sins. They don’t have any respect for God.

Haven’t you brought this on yourselves? I am the Lord your God, but you deserted me. You left me even while I was leading you.

So a lion from the forest will attack them. A wolf from the desert will destroy them. A leopard will hide and wait near their towns. It will tear to pieces anyone who dares to go out. Again and again they have refused to obey the Lord. They have turned away from him many times.

My people have made up their minds to turn away from me. Even if they call me the Most High God, I will certainly not honor them.”

So you will eat the fruit of the way you have lived. You will choke on the fruit of what you have planned.

The Lord says to the people in Jerusalem,“ Do you think I divorced your people who lived before you? Is that why I sent them away? If it is, show me the letter of divorce. I did not sell you into slavery to pay someone I owe. You were sold because you sinned against me. Your people were sent away because of their lawless acts.

Shouldn’t you have respect for me?’ announces the Lord.‘ Shouldn’t you tremble with fear in front of me? I made the sand to hold the ocean back. It will do that forever. The ocean can’t go past it. The waves might roll, but they can’t sweep over it. They might roar, but they can’t go across it.

Israel, return to the Lord your God. Your sins have destroyed you!

Jehudi read three or four sections from the scroll. Then the king cut them off with a secretary’s knife. He threw them into the fire pot. He did that until the entire scroll was burned up in the fire.The king and some of his attendants heard all these words. But they weren’t afraid. They didn’t tear their clothes.

“ They don’t have any respect for God.”( Psalm 36:1)

“ You have not been faithful,” says the Lord.“ Return to me. I will heal you. Then you will not turn away from me anymore.”“ Yes,” the people say.“ We will come to you. You are the Lord our God.

The people of Israel are stubborn. They are as stubborn as a young cow. So how can I take care of them like lambs in a meadow?

Sinners are trapped by their own evil acts. They are held tight by the ropes of their sins.

But they refused to pay attention to the Lord. They were stubborn. They turned their backs and covered their ears.

They might feel young and very strong. But they will soon lie down in the dust of their graves.“ Anything that is evil tastes sweet to them. They keep it under their tongues for a while.They can’t stand to let it go. So they hold it in their mouths.But their food will turn sour in their stomachs. It will become like the poison of a serpent inside them.They will spit out the rich food they swallowed. God will make their stomachs throw it up.They will suck the poison of a serpent. The fangs of an adder will kill them.

Then why have the people of Jerusalem turned away from me? Why do they always turn away? They keep on telling lies. They refuse to come back to me.

The Lord said to me,“ Israel and Judah have not been faithful to me. But Israel was not as bad as Judah was.Go. Announce this message to the people in the north. Tell them,“‘ Israel, you have not been faithful,’ announces the Lord.‘ Return to me. Then I will do good things for you again. That’s because I am faithful,’ announces the Lord.‘ I will not be angry with you forever.Admit that you are guilty of doing what is wrong. You have refused to obey me. I am the Lord your God.

I will choose two from each territory. And I will bring you to the city of Zion.

During the time Josiah was king, the Lord spoke to me. He said,“ Have you seen what the people of Israel have done? They have not been faithful to me. They have committed adultery with other gods. They worshiped them on every high hill and under every green tree.I thought that after they had done all this, they would return to me. But they did not. Their sister nation Judah saw them doing this. And they were not faithful to me either.I gave Israel their letter of divorce. I sent them away because they were unfaithful to me so many times. But I saw that their sister nation Judah did not have any respect for me. They were not faithful to me either. They also went out and committed adultery with other gods.
