14 Even all the chiefs of the priests+ and the people themselves committed unfaithfulness on a large scale, according to all the detestable+ things of the nations, so that they defiled the house of Jehovah which he had sanctified in Jerusalem.+
9 Outright slanderers* have proved to be in you, for the purpose of shedding blood;+ and on the mountains they have eaten in you.+ Loose conduct they have carried on in the midst of you.+
