14 (A)Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For (B)what [a]fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what [b]communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For (C)you[c] are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
(D)“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
17 Therefore
(E)“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”

23 But this is what I commanded them, saying, (A)‘Obey My voice, and (B)I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’ 24 (C)Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but (D)followed[a] the counsels and the [b]dictates of their evil hearts, and (E)went[c] backward and not forward. 25 Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have even (F)sent to you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them. 26 (G)Yet they did not obey Me or incline their ear, but (H)stiffened their neck. (I)They did worse than their fathers.
27 “Therefore (J)you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not obey you. You shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.

Why do My people say, ‘We [a]are lords;

32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments,

Yet My people (B)have forgotten Me days without number.
33 “Why do you beautify your way to seek love?

The wicked women your ways.

34 (A)They did not destroy the peoples,
(B)Concerning whom the Lord had commanded them,
35 (C)But they mingled with the Gentiles
And learned their works;
36 (D)They served their idols,
(E)Which became a snare to them.
37 (F)They even sacrificed their sons
And their daughters to (G)demons,
38 And shed innocent blood,
The blood of their sons and daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And (H)the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus they [a]were (I)defiled by their own works,
And (J)played[b] the harlot by their own deeds.
40 Therefore (K)the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people,
So that He abhorred (L)His own inheritance.
