10 Thus saith the Lord unto this people, Thus have they delighted to wander: they have not refrained their feet, therefore the Lord hath no delight in them: but he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.

11 Then said the Lord unto me, [a]Thou shalt not pray to do this people good.

12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry, and when they offer burnt offering, and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

10 This is what the Lord says about this people:

    he will now remember(C) their wickedness
    and punish them for their sins.”(D)

11 Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray(E) for the well-being of this people. 12 Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry;(F) though they offer burnt offerings(G) and grain offerings,(H) I will not accept(I) them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword,(J) famine(K) and plague.”(L)
