Again and again I sent my servants, the prophets, to plead with them, 'Don't do these horrible things that I hate so much.' But my people would not listen or turn back from their wicked ways.

We have refused to listen to your servants the prophets who spoke on your authority to our kings and princes and ancestors and to all the people of the land."

"But Israel soon became fat and unruly;

Then they abandoned the God who had made them;

They stirred up his jealousy by worshiping foreign gods;

    they provoked his fury with detestable deeds.

They offered sacrifices to demons, which are not God,

    to gods they had not known before,

to new gods only recently arrived,

    to gods their ancestors had never feared.

You neglected the Rock who had fathered you;

    you forgot the God who had given you birth." (see verses 15-33)
