God's Indictment Against Rebellious Israel

2

"Hear, heaven! Listen, earth! For ADONAI is speaking. "I raised and brought up children, but they rebelled against me.

3

An ox knows its owner and a donkey its master's stall, but Isra'el does not know, my people do not reflect.

4

"Oh, sinful nation, a people weighed down by iniquity, descendants of evildoers, immoral children! They have abandoned ADONAI, spurned the Holy One of Isra'el, turned their backs on him!

5

"Where should I strike you next, as you persist in rebelling? The whole head is sick, the whole heart diseased.

6

From the sole of the foot to the head there is nothing healthy, only wounds, bruises and festering sores that haven't been dressed or bandaged or softened up with oil.

7

"Your land is desolate, your cities are burned to the ground; foreigners devour your land in your presence; it's as desolate as if overwhelmed by floods.

8

The daughter of Tziyon is left like a shack in a vineyard, like a shed in a cucumber field, like a city under siege."

9

If ADONAI-Tzva'ot had not left us a tiny, tiny remnant, we would have become like S'dom, we would have resembled 'Amora.
