30 “Ah, ^(A)stubborn children,” declares the Lord,
^(B)“who carry out a plan, but not mine,
and who make ^(C)an alliance,^[a] but not of my Spirit,
    that they may add sin to sin;

^2 (A)I spread out my hands all the day
    to a rebellious people,
who walk in a way that is not good,
    following their own devices;

^2 (A)Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O ^(B)earth;
    for the Lord has spoken:
“Children^{[a] (C)}have I reared and brought up,
    but they have rebelled against me.

^13 (A)Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!
    Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me!
^(B)I would redeem them,
    but ^(C)they speak lies against me.

^10 (A)They shall eat, but not be satisfied;
    they shall play the whore, but not multiply,
because they have forsaken the Lord
    to cherish ¹¹ whoredom, wine, and new wine,
    which ^(B)take away the understanding.
¹² My people ^(C)inquire of a piece of wood,
    and their walking staff gives them oracles.
For ^(D)a spirit of whoredom has led them astray,
    and they have left their God to play the whore.
