1. “Listen, you priests.Pay attention, people of Israel.Listen, royal family.You will all be judged.You have been like a trap at Mizpah.You have been like a net spread out at Mount Tabor.
2. You have done many bad things.So I will punish you all.
3. I know all about Israel.What they have done is not hidden from me.They all act like prostitutes.Israel has made itself unclean.
4. “And those bad things they have donekeep them from returning 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.The people of Judah will also stumble with them.
6. The people will come to worship the Lord.They will come with their sheep and cattle.But they will not be able to find him,because he has left them.
