11 “But because the rest of you have forsaken the Lord
    and have forgotten his Temple,
and because you have prepared feasts to honor the god of Fate
    and have offered mixed wine to the god of Destiny,
12 now I will ‘destine’ you for the sword.
    All of you will bow down before the executioner.
For when I called, you did not answer.
    When I spoke, you did not listen.
You deliberately sinned—before my very eyes—
    and chose to do what you know I despise.”

11 But[a] you who forsake[b] Yahweh,
    forgetting my holy mountain,[c]
who set a table for Fortune,
    and who pour out[d] a jug of mixed wine for Destiny,
12 and I will remit you to the sword,
    and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter,
because I called, but[e] you did not answer;
    I spoke, but[f] you did not listen,
but[g] you did the evil in my eyes,
    and you chose that in which I do not delight.”
