18The 1childrenH1121 gatherH3950 woodH6086, and the fathersH1 kindleH1197 the fireH784, and the womenH802 kneadH3888 doughH1217 to makeH6213 cakesH3561 for the queenH4446 of heavenH8064; and they 2pourH5258 out drinkH5262 offeringsH5262 to otherH312 godsH430 in orderH4616 to 3spiteH3707 Me. 194Do they spiteH3707 Me?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “Is it not themselves they spite, to 5their ownH6440 6shameH1322H6440?” 20ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 7GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, My 8angerH639 and My wrathH2534 will be pouredH5413 out on thisH2088 placeH4725, on manH120 and on beastH929 and on the 9treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 and on the fruitH6529 of the groundH127; and it will burnH1197 and not be quenchedH3518.”

21ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “AddH3254 your 10burntH5930 offeringsH5930 to your sacrificesH2077 and 11eatH398 fleshH1320. 22For I did not 12speakH1696 to your fathersH1, or commandH6680 them in the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 them out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, concerningH5921H1697 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077.
