And what is our iniquity, or what is our sin which we have committed against Yahweh our God?’ 11 Then you are to say to them, ‘It is (B)because your fathers have forsaken Me,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and have walked after (C)other gods and served them and worshiped them; but Me they have forsaken and have not kept My law. 12 You too have done evil, even (D)more than your fathers; for behold, you are each one walking according to the (E)stubbornness of his own (F)evil heart, without listening to Me. 13 So I will (G)hurl you out of this land into the (H)land which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you will (I)serve other gods day and night, for I will grant you no favor.’
