Then the Lord said to me, “A (A)conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10 They have (B)turned back to the wrongdoings of their [a]ancestors who (C)refused to hear My words, and they (D)have followed other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have (E)broken My covenant which I made with their fathers.” 11 Therefore this is what the Lord says: “Behold, I am (F)bringing disaster on them which they will (G)not be able to escape; though they will (H)cry out to Me, I will not listen to them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will (I)go and cry out to the gods to whom they [b]burn incense, but they certainly will not save them in the time of their disaster. 13 For your gods are [c](J)as many as your cities, Judah; and [d]as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the (K)shameful thing, altars for [e](L)burning incense to Baal.

And Yahweh said to me, “A conspiracy is found among the people[a] of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their former ancestors,[b] who refused to obey my words, and they have gone after other gods, to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made[c] with their ancestors.”[d]

11 Therefore[e] thus says Yahweh, “I am about to bring on them disaster from which they will not be able to escape. Though they cry out to me, yet I will not listen to them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they are making smoke offerings, but they will certainly not save them in the time of their trouble. 13 For the number of your towns are your gods, O Judah, and the number of the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the shameful things, to make smoke offerings to Baal.
