5:12 And you will say, “How I hated discipline!
My heart spurned reproof!
92:6 The spiritually insensitive do not recognize this;
the fool does not understand this.
10:14 All these idolaters
Every goldsmith will be disgraced by the idol he made.
For the image he forges is merely a sham.
There is no breath in any of those idols.
10:2 The Lord says,
“Do not start following pagan religious practices.
Do not be in awe of signs that occur
even though the nations hold them in awe.
2:12 Be amazed at this, O heavens!
Be shocked and utterly dumbfounded,”
says the Lord.
2:13 “Do so because my people have committed a double wrong:
they have rejected me,
the fountain of life-giving water,
and they have dug cisterns for themselves,
cracked cisterns which cannot even hold water.”
2:14 “Israel is not a slave, is he?
He was not born into slavery, was he?
If not, why then is he being carried off?
2:15 Like lions his enemies roar victoriously over him;
they raise their voices in triumph.
They have laid his land waste;
his cities have been burned down and deserted.
2:16 Even the soldiers
have cracked your skulls, people of Israel.
