Israel’s pride testifies against them.
    The people of Israel will stumble because of their sin.
    The people of Judah will also stumble with them.
The people will come to worship the Lord.
    They will come with their sheep and cattle.
But they will not be able to find him,
    because he has left them.
They have not been true to the Lord.
    Their children do not belong to him.
So their false worship
    will destroy them and their land.

When they celebrate their New Moon feasts,(H)
    he will devour[a](I) their fields.
