²⁵ “People of Israel, did you bring me sacrifices and offerings
    for 40 years in the desert?
²⁶ Yes. But you have honored the place
    where your king worshiped other gods.
You have carried the stands
    the statues of your gods were on.
You have lifted up the banners
    of the stars you worship as gods.
    You made all those things for yourselves.
²⁷ So I will send you away
    as prisoners beyond Damascus,”
says the Lord.
    His name is God Who Rules Over All.
