When someone hears the words of this oath, he may consider himself exempt, thinking,‘ I will have peace even though I follow my own stubborn heart.’ This will lead to the destruction of the well-watered land as well as the dry land.

“‘ But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did not follow my statutes and they rejected my ordinances— the person who does them will live by them. They also completely profaned my Sabbaths. So I considered pouring out my wrath on them in the wilderness to put an end to them.

“ But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel did not obey me.So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own plans.

Why have these people turned away? Why is Jerusalem always turning away? They take hold of deceit; they refuse to return.

However, my people wouldn’t listen to me or pay attention but became obstinate; they did more evil than their ancestors.

The LORD spoke to Moses:“ Go down at once! For your people you brought up from the land of Egypt have acted corruptly.They have quickly turned from the way I commanded them; they have made for themselves an image of a calf. They have bowed down to it, sacrificed to it, and said,‘ Israel, these are your gods, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.’”

You have left me.” This is the LORD’s declaration.“ You have turned your back, so I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you. I am tired of showing compassion.

say to a tree,“ You are my father,” and to a stone,“ You gave birth to me.” For they have turned their back to me and not their face, yet in their time of disaster they beg,“ Rise up and save us!”

“‘ But they rebelled against me and were unwilling to listen to me. None of them threw away the abhorrent things that they prized, and they did not abandon the idols of Egypt. So I considered pouring out my wrath on them, exhausting my anger against them within the land of Egypt.

For I strongly warned your ancestors when I brought them out of the land of Egypt until today, warning them time and time again,‘ Obey me.’Yet they would not obey or pay attention; each one followed the stubbornness of his evil heart. So I brought on them all the curses of this covenant, because they had not done what I commanded them to do.”

For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn cow. Can the LORD now shepherd them like a lamb in an open meadow?

“‘ But the children rebelled against me. They did not follow my statutes or carefully keep my ordinances— the person who does them will live by them. They also profaned my Sabbaths. So I considered pouring out my wrath on them and exhausting my anger against them in the wilderness.

At that time Jerusalem will be called The LORD’s Throne, and all the nations will be gathered to it, to the name of the LORD in Jerusalem. They will cease to follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts.

They have turned their backs to me and not their faces. Though I taught them time and time again, they do not listen and receive discipline.

They keep on saying to those who despise me,‘ The LORD has spoken: You will have peace.’ They have said to everyone who follows the stubbornness of his heart,‘ No harm will come to you.’”

You warned them to turn back to your law, but they acted arrogantly and would not obey your commands. They sinned against your ordinances, which a person will live by if he does them. They stubbornly resisted, stiffened their necks, and would not obey.

Our ancestors in Egypt did not grasp the significance of your wondrous works or remember your many acts of faithful love; instead, they rebelled by the sea— the Red Sea.Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, to make his power known.He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led them through the depths as through a desert.He saved them from the power of the adversary; he redeemed them from the power of the enemy.Water covered their foes; not one of them remained.Then they believed his promises and sang his praise.They soon forgot his works and would not wait for his counsel.They were seized with craving in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.He gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease among them.In the camp they were envious of Moses and of Aaron, the LORD’s holy one.The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the assembly of Abiram.Fire blazed throughout their assembly; flames consumed the wicked.At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped the cast metal image.They exchanged their glory for the image of a grass-eating ox.They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,wondrous works in the land of Ham, awe-inspiring acts at the Red Sea.So he said he would have destroyed them— if Moses his chosen one had not stood before him in the breach to turn his wrath away from destroying them.They despised the pleasant land and did not believe his promise.They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the LORD.So he raised his hand against them with an oath that he would make them fall in the desertand would disperse their descendants among the nations, scattering them throughout the lands.They aligned themselves with Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.They angered the LORD with their deeds, and a plague broke out against them.But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was stopped.It was credited to him as righteousness throughout all generations to come.They angered the LORD at the Waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered because of them,for they embittered his spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips.They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded thembut mingled with the nations and adopted their ways.They served their idols, which became a snare to them.They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; so the land became polluted with blood.They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.Therefore the LORD’s anger burned against his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance.He handed them over to the nations; those who hated them ruled over them.Their enemies oppressed them, and they were subdued under their power.He rescued them many times, but they continued to rebel deliberately and were beaten down by their iniquity.When he heard their cry, he took note of their distress,remembered his covenant with them, and relented according to the abundance of his faithful love.He caused them to be pitied before all their captors.Save us, LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, so that we may give thanks to your holy name and rejoice in your praise.Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say,“ Amen!” Hallelujah!

But our ancestors acted arrogantly; they became stiff-necked and did not listen to your commands.They refused to listen and did not remember your wonders you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love, and you did not abandon them.Even after they had cast an image of a calf for themselves and said,“ This is your god who brought you out of Egypt,” and they had committed terrible blasphemies,you did not abandon them in the wilderness because of your great compassion. During the day the pillar of cloud never turned away from them, guiding them on their journey. And during the night the pillar of fire illuminated the way they should go.You sent your good Spirit to instruct them. You did not withhold your manna from their mouths, and you gave them water for their thirst.

because they rejected my ordinances, profaned my Sabbaths, and did not follow my statutes. For their hearts went after their idols.
