THE CONTROVERSY OF YAH VEH
Hear the word of Yah Veh, you sons of Yisra El: because of a controversy of Yah Veh with the settlers of the land; because there is neither truth nor mercy nor knowledge of Elohim in the land: 2 oathing and lying and murder and stealing and adulterizing separate; and blood touches blood. 3 So the land mourns and every one settling therein languishes with the live beings of the field and with the flyers of the heavens; yes, the fishes of the sea are gathered: 4 yet neither strive with man nor reprove man: for your people are as they who strive with the priest. 5 And you falter in the day and the prophet also falters with you in the night; and I sever your mother. 6 My people are severed for lack of knowledge: because you spurn knowledge, I also spurn you from priesting to me: seeing you forget the torah of your Elohim, I also forget your sons. 7 According to their abundance, thus they sin against me: so I change their honor into abasement. 8 They eat the sin of my people, and they lift their soul on their perversity: 9 and so be it, as people, as priest: and I visit on them for their ways, and return their exploits. 10 For they eat, and satisfy not: they whore, and not break forth: because they forsake to guard to Yah Veh. 11 Whoredom and wine and juice take away the heart: 12 my people ask at their trees, and their staff tells them: for the spirit of whoredoms strays them and they whore from under their Elohim: 13 they sacrifice on the mountain tops and incense on the hills; under oaks and poplars and terebinth because the shadow is good: so your daughters whore and your brides adulterize. 14 I neither visit on your daughters when they whore; nor your brides when they adulterize: for they separate with whores and they sacrifice with hallowed whores: a people who discerns not, falls. 15 Though you, Yisra El, whore, and you, O Yah Hudah, neither guilt nor come to Gilgal; neither ascend to Beth Aven nor oath, Yah Veh lives. 16 For Yisra El rebels as a revolting heifer; now Yah Veh tends them as a lamb in an expanse: 17 Ephrayim joins with idols; leave him alone: 18 their potion turns; they whore continually: her bucklers love abasement: 19 the wind binds her in her wings, and they shame because of their sacrifices.
