31 Because it is Jehovah’s word that he has despised+ and his commandment that he has broken,+ that soul should be cut off without fail.+ His own error is upon him.’”+
15 “And it must occur that if you will not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God by taking care to do all his commandments and his statutes that I am commanding you today, all these maledictions must also come upon you and overtake you:+
14 And that is why I have sworn to the house of Eʹli that the error of the house of Eʹli will not be brought to exemption from punishment by sacrifice or by offering to time indefinite.”+
17 due to the fact that they have left me and have gone making sacrificial smoke to other gods+ in order to offend me with all the work of their hands,+ and my rage has been set afire against this place and will not be extinguished.’”’+
