“For long ago you broke your yoke [in deliberate disobedience]

“O generation [that you are], consider and regard carefully the word of the Lord.

We will no longer come to You’?

and [then dare to] come and stand before Me in this house, which is called by My Name, and say, ‘We are protected and set free [by this act of religious ritual]!’—only to go on with this wickedness and these disgusting and loathsome things?

For I will certainly let you go free, and you will not be put to the sword, but your life will be given to you out of the hands of your attackers: because you have put your faith in me, says the Lord.
