29 For I well know that after my death YOU will without fail act ruinously,+ and YOU will certainly turn aside from the way about which I have commanded YOU; and calamity+ will be bound to befall YOU at the close of the days, because YOU will do what is bad in the eyes of Jehovah* so as to offend him by the works of YOUR hands.”+

7 And it came about because the sons of Israel had sinned+ against Jehovah their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharʹaoh the king of Egypt,+ and they began to fear other gods;+

14 Even all the chiefs of the priests+ and the people themselves committed unfaithfulness on a large scale, according to all the detestable+ things of the nations, so that they defiled the house of Jehovah which he had sanctified in Jerusalem.+

4 Woe to the sinful nation,+ the people heavy with error, an evildoing seed,+ ruinous sons!+ They have left Jehovah,+ they have treated the Holy One of Israel with disrespect,+ they have turned backwards.+
