9 A conspiracy has been found, the Lord said to me, among the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
10 They have returned to the crimes of their ancestors who refused to obey my words. They also have followed and served other gods; the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken the covenant I made with their ancestors.
11 Therefore, thus says the Lord: See, I am bringing upon them a disaster they cannot escape. Though they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.
12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they have been offering incense. But these gods will give them no help whatever in the time of their disaster.
13 For as many as your citiesare your gods, O Judah!As many as the streets of Jerusalemare the altars for sacrifice to Baal.
14 Now, you must not intercede for this people; do not raise on their behalf a cry or prayer! I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their disaster.
15 What right has my beloved in my house,while she devises her plots?Can vows and sacred meat turn awayyour disaster from you?Will you still be jubilant
