17 See you not what they work in the cities of Yah Hudah and in the outways of Yeru Shalem?
18 The sons gather timber and the fathers burn the fire; and the women knead their dough to work wafers to the sovereigness of the heavens and to libate libations to other elohim to vex me.
19 Vex they me? - an oracle of Yah Veh: And not themselves to the shame of their own faces?
20 So thus says Adonay Yah Veh; Behold, my wrath and my fury poured on this place - on humanity and on animal and on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the soil: and it burns and quenches not.
21 Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, Elohim of Yisra El; Scrape up your holocausts to your sacrifices and eat flesh:
22 for I neither worded to your fathers, nor misvahed them in the day I brought them from the land of Misrayim concerning holocausts or sacrifices:
23 But this I misvahed them, saying, Hearken to my voice, and I am your Elohim and you are my people: and walk in all the ways I misvah you, that it well-please you.
24 And they neither hearken nor spread their ear; but walk in the counsels and in the warp of their evil heart; and go backward; and not toward the face.
25 Since the day your fathers came forth from the land of Misrayim, to this day, I even sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily starting early and sending them:
26 yet they neither hearkened to me, nor spread their ear; and hardened their neck: they vilified above their fathers.
27 And you, word all these words to them; and they hearken not to you: and also call to them; and they answer you not:
28 and say to them, This goyim neither hearkens to the voice of Yah Veh their Elohim, nor takes discipline: trustworthiness destructs; yes, it is cut off from their mouth.
