11 Judah has dealt (A)treacherously, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has (B)profaned the sanctuary of the Lord [a]which He loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god. 12 As for the man who does this, may the (C)Lord eliminate from the tents of Jacob everyone who is awake and answers, or who (D)presents [b]an offering to the Lord of armies.

13 And this is [c]another thing you do: you cover the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping and sighing, because He (E)no longer gives attention to the [d]offering or accepts it with favor from your hand.
