4: Ayyo! An unbelieving missing-the-mark nation, a sin-glorifying people, seed of evil-makers, children of those who make corrupters. They forsook their Yehoweh. They scorned their Holy One of Israel. They were estranged to before (the past).
5: For what are you caused to be beaten again? You caused apostasy to be increased?
The whole head – sickness.

11: For what are your many slaughter sacrifices to Me, said Yehoweh. I had enough with rams offered up and the fat of stall fed (muhrim also means rebellious from mara) and the blood of bulls and lambs and rams. I was not pleased.

20: And if you refuse and you rebelled, a sword devoured you.

Think.
21: in what way did a faithful city full of justice become a harlot? Righteousness is permanently resident in it but now murderers.
22: Your silver became dross, your intoxicating drink diluted with water.
23: Your stubborn princes and associates – Thieves. Everyone loves bribes and pursues compensations. No Judge (for) an orphan, no contending (for) a vulnerable (silent) woman traverses before them. *{v17}
Stop.
24: Therefore The Word of The Lord, Yehoweh of Parliaments, Mighty one of Israel, Ayyo, I am comforted from my restrainers, I am avenged of my enemies!

May those convicted Sodom-and-Gomorrahans who deliberately rebel against You and attend ritualistic church services repent that they may be saved from their due punishment, burning, destruction. Amen.
