1 All the good people are gone, and no one even noticed. The loyal followers were gathered up, but no one knows why. The reason they were gathered up is that trouble is coming.
2 But peace will come too, and those who trust him will get to rest in their own beds.
3 “Come here, you children of witches. Your father committed adultery, and your mother was unfaithful.
4 You are children out of control, full of lies. You make fun of me. You make faces and stick out your tongue at me.
5 All you want is to worship false gods under every green tree. You kill children by every stream and sacrifice them in the rocky places.
6 You love to worship the smooth rocks in the rivers. You pour wine on them to worship them. You give sacrifices to them, but those rocks are all you get. Do you think this makes me happy?
