“You will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have done only what was good to you, sending you away in peace. You are now blessed by the LORD.”

But the more they oppressed them, the more they multiplied and spread so that the Egyptians came to dread[fn] the Israelites.

“May the LORD take note of you and judge,” they said to them, “because you have made us reek to Pharaoh and his officials ​— ​putting a sword in their hand to kill us! ”

“They are to remain abhorrent to you; you must not eat any of their meat, and you must abhor their carcasses.

“You are to abhor these birds. They must not be eaten because they are abhorrent:

eagles,[fn] bearded vultures,

Egyptian vultures,[fn]

“Do not become contaminated by any creature that swarms; do not become unclean or defiled by them.

“You must keep my instruction to not do any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them; I am the LORD your God.”

“You must not follow the statutes of the nations I am driving out before you, for they did all these things, and I abhorred them.

“Therefore you are to distinguish the clean animal from the unclean one, and the unclean bird from the clean one. Do not become contaminated by any land animal, bird, or whatever crawls on the ground; I have set these apart as unclean for you.

“I will place my residence[fn] among you, and I will not reject you.

“Do not bring any detestable thing into your house, or you will be set apart for destruction like it. You are to abhor and detest it utterly because it is set apart for destruction.

“Do not despise an Edomite, because he is your brother. Do not despise an Egyptian, because you were a resident alien in his land.

He committed the most detestable acts by following idols as the Amorites had, whom the LORD had dispossessed before the Israelites.

then you dip me in a pit of mud,

and my own clothes despise me!

how much less one who is revolting and corrupt,

who drinks injustice like water?

All of my best friends[fn] despise me,

and those I love have turned against me.

They despise me and keep their distance from me;

they do not hesitate to spit in my face.

You destroy those who tell lies;

the LORD abhors violent and treacherous people.

The fool says in his heart, “There’s no God.”

They are corrupt; they do vile deeds.

There is no one who does good.

Those who repay evil for good

attack me for pursuing good.

The fool says in his heart, “There’s no God.”

They are corrupt, and they do vile deeds.

There is no one who does good.

They twist my words all day long;

all their thoughts against me are evil.

Therefore the LORD’s anger burned against his people,

and he abhorred his own inheritance.

They loathed all food

and came near the gates of death.

I hate and abhor falsehood,

but I love your instruction.

Anyone who turns his ear away from hearing the law —

even his prayer is detestable.

But you are thrown out without a grave,

like a worthless branch,

covered by those slain with the sword

and dumped into a rocky pit like a trampled corpse.

This is what the LORD,

the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, says

to one who is despised,

to one abhorred by people,[fn]

to a servant of rulers:

“Kings will see, princes will stand up,

and they[fn] will all bow down

because of the LORD, who is faithful,

the Holy One of Israel ​— ​and he has chosen you.”

You who tremble at his word,

hear the word of the LORD:

“Your brothers who hate and exclude you

for my name’s sake have said,

‘Let the LORD be glorified

so that we can see your joy! ’

But they will be put to shame.”

I discovered Israel

like grapes in the wilderness.

I saw your ancestors

like the first fruit of the fig tree in its first season.

But they went to Baal-peor,

consecrated themselves to Shame,[fn]

and became abhorrent,

like the thing they loved.

They hate the one who convicts the guilty

at the city gate,

and they despise the one who speaks with integrity.

The Lord GOD has sworn by himself ​— ​this is the declaration of the LORD, the God of Armies:

I loathe Jacob’s pride

and hate his citadels,

so I will hand over the city and everything in it.

Listen to this, leaders of the house of Jacob,

you rulers of the house of Israel,

who abhor justice

and pervert everything that is right,
