¹³ Therefore it happened, that just as He proclaimed and they would not hear, so ^(A)they called out and I would not listen,” says the Lord of hosts.

⁸ “Behold, you trust in ^(A)lying words that cannot profit. ^9 (B)Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and ^(C)walk after other gods whom you do not know, ^10 (D)and then come and stand before Me in this house ^(E)which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are delivered to do all these abominations’?

^25 (A)When once the Master of the house has risen up and ^(B)shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ^(C)‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ^(D)‘I do not know you, where you are from,’ ²⁶ then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ ^27 (E)But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. ^(F)Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’ ^28 (G)There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, ^(H)when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.

^12 (A)When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and ^(B)when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But ^(C)I will consume them by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.”
