³¹ You have gone the way of your sister; so I will put her cup^(A) into your hand.^(B)

¹⁴ Therefore, what I did to Shiloh^(A) I will now do to the house that bears my Name,^(B) the temple^(C) you trust in, the place I gave to you and your ancestors. ¹⁵ I will thrust you from my presence,^(D) just as I did all your fellow Israelites, the people of Ephraim.’^(E)

¹³ I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line^(A) used against the house of Ahab. I will wipe^(B) out Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

¹³ I saw that she too defiled herself; both of them went the same way.^(A)

⁴⁷ You not only followed their ways and copied their detestable practices, but in all your ways you soon became more depraved than they.^{(A) 48} As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign^(B) Lord, your sister Sodom^(C) and her daughters never did what you and your daughters have done.^(D)

⁴⁹ “‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom:^(E) She and her daughters were arrogant,^(F) overfed and unconcerned;^(G) they did not help the poor and needy.^{(H) 50} They were haughty^(I) and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.^{(J) 51} Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have done more detestable things than they, and have made your sisters seem righteous by all these things you have done.^(K)

The Cup of God’s Wrath

¹⁵ This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup^(A) filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send^(B) you drink it.

⁸ I gave faithless Israel^(A) her certificate of divorce^(B) and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear;^(C) she also went out and committed adultery. ⁹ Because Israel’s immorality mattered so little to her, she defiled the land^(D) and committed adultery^(E) with stone^(F) and wood.^{(G) 10} In spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Judah did not return^(H) to me with all her heart, but only in pretense,^(I)” declares the Lord.^(J)

¹¹ The Lord said to me, “Faithless Israel is more righteous^(K) than unfaithful^(L) Judah.^(M)
