“Israel was holy to the LORD,
the firstfruits of his harvest.
All who ate of it found themselves guilty;
disaster came on them.”
This is the LORD’s declaration.
Like the shame of a thief when he is caught,
so the house of Israel has been put to shame.
They, their kings, their officials,
their priests, and their prophets

pay attention to the word of the LORD!

Why do my people claim,
“We will go where we want;[fn]
we will no longer come to you”?
In the days of King Josiah the LORD asked me, “Have you seen what unfaithful Israel has done? She has ascended every high hill and gone under every green tree to prostitute herself there.
“I[fn] observed that it was because unfaithful Israel had committed adultery that I had sent her away and had given her a certificate of divorce. Nevertheless, her treacherous sister Judah was not afraid but also went and prostituted herself.
The LORD announced to me, “Unfaithful Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
“Go, proclaim these words to the north, and say,
‘Return, unfaithful Israel.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
I will not look on you with anger,[fn]
for I am unfailing in my love.

commotion from the mountains,
but the salvation of Israel
is only in the LORD our God.
If you return,[fn] Israel —
this is the LORD’s declaration —
you will return to me,
if you remove your abhorrent idols
from my presence
and do not waver,
They, the house of Israel and the house of Judah,
have dealt very treacherously with me.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
I am about to bring a nation
from far away against you,
house of Israel.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
It is an established nation,
an ancient nation,
a nation whose language you do not know
and whose speech you do not understand.
This is what the LORD of Armies says:
Glean the remnant of Israel
as thoroughly as a vine.

the LORD of Armies is his name.
“Tell them, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: “Let a curse be on the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,

Hope of Israel,
its Savior in time of distress,
why are you like a resident alien in the land,
like a traveler stopping only for the night?
“For this is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: I am about to eliminate from this place, before your very eyes and in your time, the sound of joy and gladness, the voice of the groom and the bride.

all who abandon you
will be put to shame.
All who turn away from me
will be written in the dirt,
for they have abandoned
the LORD, the fountain of living water.
