10 But though they have sold themselves to many allies,I will now gather them together for judgment.Then they will writheunder the burden of the great king.
11 “Israel has built many altars to take away sin,but these very altars became places for sinning!
12 Even though I gave them all my laws,they act as if those laws don’t apply to them.
13 The people love to offer sacrifices to me,feasting on the meat,but I do not accept their sacrifices.I will hold my people accountable for their sins,and I will punish them.They will return to Egypt.
14 Israel has forgotten its Maker and built great palaces,and Judah has fortified its cities.Therefore, I will send down fire on their citiesand will burn up their fortresses.”
