Punish

And whereas Ephraim is become partaker of Idols: well, let him go.

Wherefore should ye be plagued any more? For ye are ever falling away. The whole head is sick, and the heart is very heavy.

If ye be not under correction - whereof all are partakers - then are ye bastards and not sons.

And they

For they also made them hill altars and images and groves on every high hill and under every green tree.

And he made the stews of males depart the land, and put away all the idols that his fathers had made.

And he brake down the cells of the male whores that were in the house of the LORD, where the women wove little houses for the grove.

Therefore

Hear the word of the LORD, O ye children of Israel: For the LORD must punish them, that dwell in the land. And why? There is no faithfulness, there is no mercy, there is no knowledge of God in the land:

Who is wise to understand these things and hath wit to perceive them? For the ways of the LORD are straight, and the righteous shall walk in them: but the wicked shall tumble in them.

Wicked men discern not the thing that is right, but they that seek after the LORD, discuss all things.

and many shall be purified, cleansed and tried. But the ungodly shall live wickedly, and those wicked, as many as they be, shall have no understanding. As for such as have understanding, they shall regard it.

Why do ye not know my speech? Even because ye cannot abide the hearing of my words.

There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God,

blinded in their understanding, being strangers from the life which is in God, through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts.
