Lexham English Bible

29 Why do you despise my sacrifice and my offering which I commanded for my dwelling place, while you honored your sons more than me by making yourselves fat from the best of all the offerings of my people Israel? 30 Therefore,’ declares[a] Yahweh the God of Israel, ‘though I solemnly said that your house and the house of your ancestor[b] would walk before me forever, but now,’ declares[c] Yahweh, ‘far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me, I will treat with contempt! 31 Look, days are coming when I will cut off your strength[d] and the strength[e] of the house of your ancestor[f] so that no one in your house will live to old age.[g]
