剷除離棄我、不尋求我、不求問我的人。」

與背耶和華、而不從之者、及不尋求耶和華、而不訪之者、○

悖逆耶和華不祈求我者、必戮之而後已、

背逆耶和華、不尋求耶和華、不祈禱耶和華者、我悉必翦滅、

those who turn back from following the Lord and neither seek the Lord nor inquire of him.”

And I will destroy those who used to worship me but now no longer do. They no longer ask for the Lord’s guidance or seek my blessings.”

“ My people have sinned twice. They have deserted me, even though I am the spring of water that gives life. And they have dug their own wells. But those wells are broken. They can’t hold any water.

How terrible it will be for this sinful nation! They are loaded down with guilt. They are people who do nothing but evil. They are children who are always sinning. They have deserted the Lord. They have turned against the Holy One of Israel. They have turned their backs on him.

You have said no to me,” announces the Lord.“ You keep on turning away from me. So I will reach out and destroy you. I am tired of showing you pity.

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.

But his people have not returned to the God who struck them down. They haven’t turned for help to the Lord who rules over all.

They speak empty, bragging words. They make their appeal to the evil desires that come from sin’s power. They tempt new believers who are just escaping from the company of sinful people.They promise to give freedom to these new believers. But they themselves are slaves to sinful living. That’s because“ people are slaves to anything that controls them.”They may have escaped the sin of the world. They may have come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But what if they are once again caught up in sin? And what if it has become their master? Then they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.Suppose they had not known the way of godliness. This would have been better than to know godliness and then turn away from it. The way of godliness is the sacred command passed on to them.What the proverbs say about them is true.“ A dog returns to where it has thrown up.”( Proverbs 26:11) And,“ A pig that is washed goes back to rolling in the mud.”

In spite of all this, their sister nation Judah did not come back to me. They were not faithful to me either. They did not return with all their heart. They only pretended to,” announces the Lord.

And,“ The one who is right with God will live by faith. And I am not pleased with the one who pulls back.”( Habakkuk 2:3, 4)But we don’t belong to the people who pull back and are destroyed. We belong to the people who believe and are saved.

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.”

“ I am very sad I have made Saul king. He has turned away from me. He has not done what I directed him to do.” When Samuel heard that, he was angry. He cried out to the Lord during that whole night.

Because he is proud, that evil person doesn’t turn to the Lord. There is no room for God in any of his thoughts.

But the Lord will drive out those who have taken crooked paths. He will drive them out with those who do evil things. May Israel enjoy peace.

Then how will we escape if we don’t pay attention to God’s great salvation? The Lord first announced this salvation. Those who heard him gave us the message about it.

“ Israel, you are not faithful to me. But I do not want Judah to become guilty too.“ My people, do not go to Gilgal to offer sacrifices. Do not go up to Bethel to worship other gods. When you make a promise, do not say,‘ You can be sure that the Lord is alive.’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?

“ Or suppose a godly person turns away from their godliness and does what is evil. And suppose I put something in their way that will trip them up. Then they will die. Since you did not warn them, they will die for their sin. The godly things that person did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for their death.

All of them are as hot as an oven. They destroy their rulers. All their kings fall from power. But none of them calls on the Lord for help.

The Lord looks down from heaven on all people. He wants to see if there are any who understand. He wants to see if there are any who trust in God.All of them have turned away. They have all become evil. No one does anything good, no one at all.

“ Family of Jacob, you have not prayed to me as you should. People of Israel, you have not worn yourselves out for me.

No one understands. No one trusts in God.

Their mouths speak words that are evil and false. They do not act wisely or do what is good.
