and have not turned from my God to wickedness.

Even if I were in the right, my own mouth would condemn me;

if I were blameless, my mouth would declare me guilty.

I will say to God,

“Do not declare me guilty!

Let me know why you prosecute me.

“even though you know that I am not wicked

and that there is no one who can rescue from your power?

He keeps company with evildoers

and walks with wicked men.

Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding.

transgression and deception against the LORD,

turning away from following our God,

speaking oppression and revolt,

conceiving and uttering lying words from the heart.

The priests quit asking, “Where is the LORD? ”

The experts in the law no longer knew me,

and followed useless idols.

Why do you bring a case against me?

All of you have rebelled against me.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

“Only acknowledge your guilt —

you have rebelled against the LORD your God.

You have scattered your favors to strangers

under every green tree

and have not obeyed me.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

Woe to them, for they fled from me;

destruction to them, for they rebelled against me!

Though I want to redeem them,

they speak lies against me.

Put the ram’s horn to your mouth!

One like an eagle comes

against the house of the LORD,

because they transgress my covenant

and rebel against my law.

Come to Bethel and rebel;

rebel even more at Gilgal!

Bring your sacrifices every morning,

your tenths every three days.

Her prophets are reckless —

treacherous men.

Her priests profane the sanctuary;

they do violence to instruction.

On that day you[fn] will not be put to shame

because of everything you have done

in rebelling against me.

For then I will remove

from among you your jubilant, arrogant people,

and you will never again be haughty

on my holy mountain.
