An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land:
In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; Ephraim's whoredom is there; Israel is defiled.
But in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies; they strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his evil; all of them have become like Sodom to me, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”
Be appalled, O heavens, at this; be shocked, be utterly desolate, declares the Lord,
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the Lord has spoken: “Children have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against me.
