The more they multiplied,
the more they sinned against Me.
I will change their honor into disgrace.

Israel is a lush vine;
it yields fruit for itself.
The more his fruit increased,
the more he increased the altars.
The better his land produced,
the better they made the sacred pillars.

The more they called them,
the more they departed from Me.
They kept sacrificing to the Baals
and burning offerings to idols.
