1 “Listen, you priests.Pay attention, people of Israel.Listen, royal family,because you will all be judged.You have been like a trap at Mizpahand like a net spread out at Mount Tabor.
2 You have done many evil things,so I will punish you all.
3 I know all about the people of Israel;what they have done is not hidden from me.Now that Israel acts like a prostitute,it has made itself unclean.
4 “They will not give up their deedsand return to their God.They are determined to be unfaithful to me;they do not know the Lord.
5 Israel’s pride testifies against them.The people of Israel will stumble because of their sin,and the people of Judah will stumble with them.
6 They will come to worship the Lord,bringing their flocks and herds,but they will not be able to find him,because he has left them.
7 They have not been true to the Lord;they are children who do not belong to him.So their false worshipwill destroy them and their land.
