So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts; they will go on in their own ways.

For they shall not plant, neither shall they sow, neither shall their root be fixed in the ground; He has blown upon them, and they have withered, and a storm shall carry them away like sticks.

Ephraim has flown away as a bird; their glories from the birth, and the travail, and the conception.

For even if they should rear their children, yet shall they be utterly bereaved. Wherefore also there is woe to them, [though] My flesh is of them.

Ephraim is sick, he is dried up at his roots, he shall by no means bear fruit any longer. For even if they should beget [children], I will kill the desired [fruit] of their womb.

God shall reject them, because they have not hearkened to Him, and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

And this thing became a sin; and the people went before one as far as Dan, and left the house of the Lord.

And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to its destruction and its removal from the face of the earth.

for the sins of Jeroboam, who led Israel into sin, even by his provocation wherewith he provoked the Lord God of Israel.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins, as he caused Israel to sin.

Forasmuch as I lifted you up from the earth, and made you ruler over My people Israel; and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have caused My people Israel to sin, to provoke Me with their vanities;

And Moses said to Aaron, What have this people done to you, that you have brought such a great sin upon them?

And the Lord struck the people for the making of the calf, which Aaron made.

the prophets utter unrighteous prophecies, and the priests have clapped their hands, and My people have loved it! And what will you do for the future?

Ephraim altogether prevailed against his adversary, he trod judgment under foot, for he began to go after vanities.

Therefore I [will be] as consternation to Ephraim, and as a goad to the house of Judah.

For you have kept the statues of Omri, and done all the works of the house of Ahab; and you have walked in their ways, that I might deliver you to utter destruction, and those that inhabit the city to hissing: and you shall bear the reproach of nations.

Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man through whom the offense comes!

Therefore let us no longer judge one another, but judge this rather, not to put a stumbling block or an offense before our brother.
