They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their guilt; He will punish their sins.
For even if they flee destruction, Egypt will gather them and Memphis will bury them. Their precious silver will be taken over by thistles, and thorns will overrun their tents.
Even though you offer Me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; for your peace offerings of fattened cattle I will have no regard.
The LORD has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: “I will never forget any of their deeds.
Will they not return to the land of Egypt and be ruled by Assyria because they refused to repent?
You shall have no other gods before Me.
“What good to Me is your multitude of sacrifices?” says the LORD. “I am full from the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I take no delight in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.
They will not remain in the land of the LORD; Ephraim will return to Egypt and eat unclean food in Assyria.
This is what the LORD says about this people: “Truly they love to wander; they have not restrained their feet. So the LORD does not accept them; He will now remember their iniquity and punish them for their sins.”
They go with their flocks and herds to seek the LORD, but they do not find Him; He has withdrawn Himself from them.
The LORD will return you to Egypt in ships by a route that I said you should never see again. There you will sell yourselves to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.”
But they fail to consider in their hearts that I remember all their evil. Now their deeds are all around them; they are before My face.
