1 Listen to the word of the Lord, you Israelites. The Lord has brought these charges against those who live in the land:“There is no faith, no love, and no knowledge of God in the land.
2 There is cursing, lying, murdering, stealing, and adultery.People break ⌊my laws⌋, and there is one murder after another.
3 That is why the land is drying up,and everyone who lives in it is passing away.Wild animals, birds, and fish are dying.
4 “No one should accuse other people or bring charges against them.My case is against you priests.
5 During the day you stumble,and during the night the prophets stumble with you.So I will destroy your mother, ⌊the nation of Israel⌋.
