11. “Israel has built many altars to take away sin,but these very altars became places for sinning!
12. Even though I gave them all my laws,they act as if those laws don’t apply to them.
13. The people love to offer sacrifices to me,feasting on the meat,but I do not accept their sacrifices.I will hold my people accountable for their sins,and I will punish them.They will return to Egypt.
14. Israel has forgotten its Maker and built great palaces,and Judah has fortified its cities.Therefore, I will send down fire on their citiesand will burn up their fortresses.”
