20 Consequently Jehovah said: “The cry of complaint about Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah,+ yes, it is loud, and their sin, yes, it is very heavy.+

33 And you are righteous+ as regards all that has come upon us, for faithfully+ is how you have acted, but we are the ones that have done wickedly.+

9 And they will have to say: “On account of the fact that they left the covenant of Jehovah their God+ and proceeded to bow down to other gods* and to serve them.”’+

6 And he went on to say to me: “Son of man, are you seeing what great detestable things they are doing,+ the things that the house of Israel are doing here [for me] to become far off from my sanctuary?+ And yet you will see again great detestable things.”

9 So he said to me: “The error of the house of Israel and Judah+ is very, very great,+ and the land is filled with bloodshed*+ and the city is full of crookedness;+ for they have said, ‘Jehovah has left the land,*+ and Jehovah is not seeing.’*+

7 To you, O Jehovah,* there belongs the righteousness, but to us the shame of face as at this day,+ to the men* of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to all those of Israel, those nearby and those far away in all the lands to which you dispersed them because of their unfaithfulness with which they acted against you.+

5 But according to your hardness+ and unrepentant heart+ you are storing up wrath+ for yourself on the day of wrath+ and of the revealing+ of God’s righteous judgment.+
