Rejection » Who the lord rejects
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: but swearing, lying, manslaughter, theft, and adultery have gotten the overhand; and one bloodguiltiness followeth another. Therefore shall the land be in a miserable cause, and all they that dwell therein, shall mourn. The beasts in the field, the fowls in the air, and the fishes in the sea shall die. read more.
Yet is there none, that will chasten nor reprove another. The priests which should reform other men, are become like the people. Therefore stumblest thou in the daytime and the prophet with them in the night. I will bring thy mother to silence, and why? My people perish, because they have no knowledge. Seeing then that thou hast refused understanding, therefore will I refuse thee also: so that thou shalt no more be my priest. And forsomuch as thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
