(C)They have gone after other gods to serve them. (D)The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made with their fathers. 11 Therefore, thus says the Lord, Behold, I am bringing disaster upon them that they cannot escape. (E)Though they cry to me, I will not listen to them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem (F)will go and cry to the gods to whom they make offerings, (G)but they cannot save them in the time of their trouble. 13 (H)For your gods have become as many as your cities, O Judah, and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to shame, (I)altars to make offerings to Baal.
