12 Though I were to write out for him
ten thousand points of My instruction,(A)
they would be[a] regarded as something strange.
13 Though they offer sacrificial gifts[b](B)
and eat the flesh,(C)
the Lord does not accept them.
Now He will remember their guilt(D)
and punish their sins;(E)
they will return to Egypt.(F)
14 Israel has forgotten his Maker(G) and built palaces;(H)
Judah has also multiplied fortified cities.
I will send fire on their cities,(I)
and it will consume their citadels.
