So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, to walk in their own counsels.

Indeed, they shall not be planted; indeed, they shall not be sown. Indeed, their stump shall not take root in the earth. And He shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the tempest shall take them away like stubble.

The glory of Ephraim shall fly away like a bird; from birth, and from the womb, and from conception.

Though they raise their sons, yet I will make them childless, until not a man is left. Yea, woe also to them when I turn away from them!

Ephraim is stricken; their root is dried up; they shall bear no fruit. Yea, though they bear, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb.

My God shall cast them away because they did not give heed to Him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

Now this thing became a sin, for the people went before the one, even as far as Dan.

And this matter was the sin of the house of Jeroboam, so as to annihilate and destroy it from the face of the earth.

because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he had sinned and by which he had made Israel sin, because of his provocation with which he had provoked Jehovah the God of Israel to anger.

He did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin.

Inasmuch as I raised you up out of the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, and you have walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and have made My people Israel sin, to provoke Me to anger with their sins,

And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them?

And Jehovah plagued the people because they had made the calf which Aaron had made.

The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their own power; and my people love to have it so, and what will you do in the end?

Ephraim is oppressed and crushed in judgment, because he has willingly walked, keeping back from the commandments.

Therefore, I will be to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab. And you walk in their counsels, so that I may make you a desolation, and your inhabitants a hissing. And you shall bear the reproach of My people.

Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks, for stumbling blocks must come; but woe to that man by whom the stumbling block comes!

Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a snare in our brother's way.
