Look at what was happening to you before you began to lay the foundation of the Lord’s Temple.

They will live because they thought it over and decided to turn from their sins. Such people will not die.

This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Look at what’s happening to you!

Blessed are those who fear to do wrong, but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble.

Whoever stubbornly refuses to accept criticism will suddenly be destroyed beyond recovery.

May God our Father and our Lord Jesus bring us to you very soon.

“ Look at the shrines on every hilltop. Is there any place you have not been defiled by your adultery with other gods? You sit like a prostitute beside the road waiting for a customer. You sit alone like a nomad in the desert. You have polluted the land with your prostitution and your wickedness.That’s why even the spring rains have failed. For you are a brazen prostitute and completely shameless.

I pondered the direction of my life, and I turned to follow your laws.

Are they ashamed of these disgusting actions? Not at all— they don’t even know how to blush! Therefore, they will lie among the slaughtered. They will be brought down when I punish them, says the Lord.

“ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Look at what’s happening to you!

“ We will not listen to your messages from the Lord!We will do whatever we want. We will burn incense and pour out liquid offerings to the Queen of Heaven just as much as we like— just as we, and our ancestors, and our kings and officials have always done in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For in those days we had plenty to eat, and we were well off and had no troubles!

“ When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself,‘ At home even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying of hunger!I will go home to my father and say,“ Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you,

Oh, that my actions would consistently reflect your decrees!

“ Think about this eighteenth day of December, the day when the foundation of the Lord’s Temple was laid. Think carefully.I am giving you a promise now while the seed is still in the barn. You have not yet harvested your grain, and your grapevines, fig trees, pomegranates, and olive trees have not yet produced their crops. But from this day onward I will bless you.”

Lord, you are searching for honesty. You struck your people, but they paid no attention. You crushed them, but they refused to be corrected. They are determined, with faces set like stone; they have refused to repent.
