¹⁶ I will pronounce my judgments^(A) on my people
    because of their wickedness^(B) in forsaking me,^(C)
in burning incense to other gods^(D)
    and in worshiping^(E) what their hands have made.^(F)

¹³ “My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken^(A) me,
    the spring of living water,^(B)
and have dug their own cisterns,
    broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

¹⁷ Have you not brought this on yourselves^(A)
    by forsaking^(B) the Lord your God
    when he led you in the way?

¹⁹ Your wickedness will punish you;
    your backsliding^(A) will rebuke^(B) you.
Consider then and realize
    how evil and bitter^(C) it is for you
when you forsake^(D) the Lord your God
    and have no awe^(E) of me,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

¹³ Lord, you are the hope^(A) of Israel;
    all who forsake^(B) you will be put to shame.
Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust^(C)
    because they have forsaken the Lord,
    the spring of living water.^(D)
