Israel’s pride testifies against them.
    The people of Israel will stumble because of their sin,
    and the people of Judah will stumble with them.
They will come to worship the Lord,
    bringing their flocks and herds,
but they will not be able to find him,
    because he has left them.
They have not been true to the Lord;
    they are children who do not belong to him.
So their false worship
    will destroy them and their land.

When they go with their flocks and herds
    to seek the Lord,(D)
they will not find him;
    he has withdrawn(E) himself from them.
They are unfaithful(F) to the Lord;
    they give birth to illegitimate(G) children.
When they celebrate their New Moon feasts,(H)
    he will devour[a](I) their fields.
