“You love to wander far from me
    and do not restrain yourselves.
Therefore, I will no longer accept you as my people.
    Now I will remember all your wickedness
    and will punish you for your sins.”

(A)therefore the Lord does not accept them;
    (B)now he will remember their iniquity
    and punish their sins.”

11 The Lord said to me: (C)“Do not pray for the welfare of this people. 12 Though they fast, I will not hear their cry, (D)and though they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them (E)by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”
