Because you did not serve Jehovah your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things,

When I have brought them to the land flowing with milk and honey, of which I have sworn to their fathers, and they have eaten and filled themselves and grown fat, then they will have turned to other gods and served them; and they will have provoked Me and broken My covenant.

But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, you grew thick, you are gorged! And he forsook the God who had made him, and treated with contempt the Rock of his salvation.

lest I be full and deny You and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

I have known you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.

When they had pasture, they were filled. They were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten Me.

I made my works great; I built houses for myself; I planted vineyards for myself.

who says, I will build myself a wide house and large rooms, and has cut out windows for himself, and the ceiling is paneled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.

Shall you reign, because you lust after cedar? Did not your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.

who say, The time is not near; let us build houses. This city is the kettle, and we are the flesh.

Is it time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses, and this house to lie waste?

Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
