And an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem;

For Judah hath profaned the holiness of the Lord which he loved,

And hath married the daughter of a strange god.

Out of the tabernacles of Jacob,

And him that offereth an offering unto the Lord of hosts.

The man who does this, being awake and aware,

Yet who brings an offering to the Lord of hosts!
