<p class="poetry">A whirlwind has wrapped them in its wings;p> <p class="poetry">they will be brought to shame because of their idolatrous worship.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">For I delight in faithfulness, not simply in sacrifice;p> <p class="poetry">I delight<n id="1" /> in acknowledging God, not simply in whole burnt offerings.<n id="2" />p>

For the Israelites<n id="1" /> must live many days without a king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred fertility pillar, without ephod or idols.

<p class="poetry">They offer up sacrificial gifts to me,p> <p class="poetry">and eat the meat,p> <p class="poetry">but the <sc>Lordsc> does not accept their sacrifices.<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">Soon he will remember their wrongdoing,p> <p class="poetry">he will punish their sins,p> <p class="poetry">and they will return to Egypt.p>

<p class="poetry">They will not pour out drink offerings of wine to the <sc>Lordsc>;p> <p class="poetry">they will not please him with their sacrifices.p> <p class="poetry">Their sacrifices will be like bread eaten while in mourning;p> <p class="poetry">all those who eat them will make themselves ritually unclean.p> <p class="poetry">For their bread will be only to satisfy their appetite;p> <p class="poetry">it will not come into the temple of the <sc>Lordsc>.p>
