Therefore Yahweh does (C)not accept them; now He will (D)remember their iniquity and punish their sins.” 11 So Yahweh said to me, “(E)Do not pray for the good of this people. 12 When they fast, I am (F)not going to listen to their cry; and when they offer (G)burnt offering and grain offering, I am not going to accept them. Rather I am going to (H)make an end of them by the (I)sword, famine, and pestilence.”
