19 Your badness should correct you,+ and your own acts of unfaithfulness should reprove you.+ Know, then, and see that your leaving Jehovah your God is something bad and bitter,+ and no dread of me [has resulted] to you,’+ is the utterance of the Sovereign+ Lord, Jehovah of armies.

21 On the beaten paths there has been heard a sound, the weeping, the entreaties of the sons of Israel. For they have twisted their way;+ they have forgotten Jehovah their God.*+

25 This is your* lot, your measured portion from me,”+ is the utterance of Jehovah, “because you have forgotten me+ and you keep putting your trust in falsehood.+

19 O Jehovah my strength and my stronghold, and my place for flight in the day of distress,+ to you the nations themselves will come from the ends of the earth,*+ and they will say: “Indeed our forefathers came to possess sheer falsehood,+ vanity and things in which there was nothing beneficial.”+

13 O Jehovah, the hope of Israel,+ all those who are leaving you will be put to shame.+ Those apostatizing from me+ will be written down even in the earth, because they have left the source of living water, Jehovah.+
