Now they sin more and more and make
for
themselves
cast
images, idols skillfully
made
from
their silver
, all of them the work of craftsmen .
People
say of them, “They
offer
human
sacrifice and
kiss the calves !”
And
now they sin more and more ,
and have
made
them
molten
images of
their
silver

idols according

understanding
, all of them the work of the
craftsmen :

say of them, Let
the
men
that
sacrifice kiss the calves .
Therefore they will
be like
the morning mist
, like
the early
dew that vanishes
, like
chaff blown
from
a
threshing floor, like
smoke through
an
open
window
.
Therefore they shall
be as
the morning cloud
, and
as
the dew that passeth
early
away
, as
the
chaff that
is
driven
with
the
whirlwind
out
of
the
threshing -
floor, and
as
the
smoke out
of
the
chimney
.
Yet I am the
LORD

When
they
had
pasture, they became
satisfied
; when
they were satisfied,
their
hearts
became
proud
, and as
a
result
they forgot
Me.
According
to
their
pasture, so
were
they filled
; they were filled
, and their
heart
was
exalted:
therefore
have
they forgotten
me.
So
like
a
lion
I will
pounce
on
them; like
a leopard I
will lurk
by the path.
Therefore
am
I unto
them as
a
lion
; as
a leopard will I
watch
by the way;
Like
a bear robbed
of her cubs
I
will
attack
them
, and I
will tear
open
their chests.
There I
will devour them like a lion,
like
a
wild beast would
tear them apart
.
I
will
meet
them
as
a bear that
is
bereaved
of her whelps
, and will rend
the
caul
of
their heart;
and
there will I
devour them like a lioness;
the
wild beast shall
tear them.

king ,

he
may
save thee
in all thy

in
My
anger
I gave
you
a king, and in My wrath I
took
him
away
.

thee
a king in
mine
anger

pains
come upon him ,
but

to
present
himself
at

of the womb
.

sorrows
of
a
travailing

plunder
his treasury

the breath
of
Jehovah
coming
up from the wilderness;
and his spring shall

dry ,
and
his fountain
shall
be
dried
up:
he
shall
make
spoil
of the
treasure
of
all
goodly
vessels
.
