10 This is what the Lord says about this people:

“They greatly love to wander;
    they do not restrain their feet.(A)
So the Lord does not accept(B) them;
    he will now remember(C) their wickedness
    and punish them for their sins.”(D)

11 Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray(E) for the well-being of this people. 12 Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry;(F) though they offer burnt offerings(G) and grain offerings,(H) I will not accept(I) them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword,(J) famine(K) and plague.”(L)

10 This is what the Lord proclaims about this people:
Since they have loved to wander off
    and haven’t restrained themselves,
        I[a] won’t accept them.
Now I will recall their wrongdoing
    and punish their sin.

11 The Lord said to me: Don’t pray for the safety of these people. 12 When they fast, I won’t pay attention to their pleas, and when they offer entirely burned offerings and grain offerings, I won’t accept them. Instead, I will devour them with war, famine, and disease.
