² Israel cries out to me,
“My God, we acknowledge you!”

¹³ They offer up sacrificial gifts to me
and eat the meat,
but the Lord does not accept their sacrifices.^[a]
Soon he will remember their wrongdoing,
he will punish their sins,
and they will return to Egypt.

¹⁴ Israel has forgotten his Maker and built royal palaces,
and Judah has built many fortified cities.
But I will send fire on their cities;
it will consume their royal citadels.
