2. At the place of worshipyou were a treacherous pit,and I will punish you.
3. Israel, I know all about you,and because of your unfaithfulness,I find you unacceptable.
4. Your evil deeds are the reasonyou won't return to me,your Lord God.And your constant craving for sexkeeps you from knowing me.
5. Israel, your pridetestifies to your guilt;it makes you stumble,and Judah stumbles too.
6. You offer sheep and cattleas sacrifices to me,but I have turned awayand refuse to be found.
7. You have been unfaithfulto me, your Lord;you have had childrenby prostitutes.So at the New Moon Festival,you and your cropswill be destroyed.
8. Give a warning on the trumpet!Let it be heard in Gibeah,Ramah, and sinful Bethel.Benjamin, watch out!
