Judah Profaned Yahweh’s Sanctuary

10 “Do we not all have (A)one father? (B)Has not one God created us? Why do we deal (C)treacherously each against his brother so as to profane the (D)covenant of our fathers? 11 Judah has dealt (E)treacherously, and an abomination has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has (F)profaned the sanctuary of Yahweh [a]which He loves and has married the daughter of a foreign god. 12 As for the man who does this, may (G)Yahweh cut off from the tents of Jacob everyone who awakes and answers or who (H)presents [b]an offering to Yahweh of hosts.
