11 “The more altars Israel built to remove sin,
    the more they have become altars for sinning.
12 They reject the many teachings I have written for them.
    They act as if the teachings were strange and foreign to them.
13 The Israelites offer sacrifices to me

    He remembers the evil they have done.
And he will punish them for their sins.
    They will be slaves again as they were in Egypt.
