¹⁹ Your own wickedness will ^(A)correct you,
And your backslidings will rebuke you.
Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing
That you have forsaken the Lord your God,
And the ^[a]fear of Me is not in you,”
Says the Lord God of hosts.

⁹ The look on their countenance witnesses against them,
And they declare their sin as ^(A)Sodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.

¹⁸ “Your^(A) ways and your doings
Have procured these things for you.
This is your wickedness,
Because it is bitter,
Because it reaches to your heart.”

^17 (A)Have you not brought this on yourself,
In that you have forsaken the Lord your God
When ^(B)He led you in the way?

⁵ The ^(A)pride of Israel testifies to his face;
Therefore Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;
Judah also stumbles with them.

36 An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked:
^(A)There is no fear of God before his eyes.

¹⁰ I will turn your feasts into ^(A)mourning,
^(B)And all your songs into lamentation;
^(C)I will bring sackcloth on every waist,
And baldness on every head;
I will make it like mourning for an only son,
And its end like a bitter day.

⁷ My people are bent on ^(A)backsliding from Me.
Though ^[a]they call ^[b]to the Most High,
None at all exalt Him.

⁶ Therefore ^(A)a lion from the forest shall slay them,
^(B)A wolf of the deserts shall destroy them;
^(C)A leopard will watch over their cities.
Everyone who goes out from there shall be torn in pieces,
Because their transgressions are many;
Their backslidings have increased.
