² All day long I opened my arms to a rebellious people.^[a]
    But they follow their own evil paths
    and their own crooked schemes.

¹³ “What sorrow awaits those who have deserted me!
    Let them die, for they have rebelled against me.
I wanted to redeem them,
    but they have told lies about me.

¹⁰ They will eat and still be hungry.
    They will play the prostitute and gain nothing from it,
for they have deserted the Lord
¹¹     to worship other gods.

“Wine has robbed my people
    of their understanding.
¹² They ask a piece of wood for advice!
    They think a stick can tell them the future!
Longing after idols
    has made them foolish.
They have played the prostitute,
    serving other gods and deserting their God.

¹⁵ What sorrow awaits those who try to hide their plans from the Lord,
    who do their evil deeds in the dark!
“The Lord can’t see us,” they say.
    “He doesn’t know what’s going on!”
