23
I didn't become angry. Instead, I cast wood into the water and made the river sweet.
24
What will I do to you, Jacob? Judah, you wouldn't obey me. I will turn to another nation and give them my name. They will certainly keep my ordinances.
25
When those who abandoned me beg for mercy, I won't have mercy on them.
26
When they call upon me, I won't hear them because they have stained their souls, and have hands stained with blood. Your feet aren't slow to commit murder.
27
You haven't abandoned me; rather, you have abandoned yourselves, says the Lord.
