May the <sc>Lordsc> cut off from the community<n id="1" /> of Jacob every last person who does this,<n id="2" /> as well as the person who presents improper offerings to the <sc>Lordsc> who rules over all!p>

You have said, &#8216;It is useless to serve God. How have we been helped<n id="1" /> by keeping his requirements and going about like mourners before the <sc>Lordsc> who rules over all?<n id="2" />

For when you offer blind animals as a sacrifice, is that not wrong? And when you offer the lame and sick,<n id="1" /> is that not wrong as well? Indeed, try offering them<n id="2" /> to your governor! Will he be pleased with you<n id="3" /> or show you favor?&#8221; asks the <sc>Lordsc> who rules over all.

<p class="bodytext"><v id="(3:19)" /><n id="1" /> &#8220;For indeed the day<n id="2" /> is coming, burning like a furnace, and all the arrogant evildoers will be chaff. The coming day will burn them up,&#8221; says the <sc>Lordsc> who rules over all. &#8220;It<n id="3" /> will not leave even a root or branch.
