15 “What is my beloved doing in my temple

as she, with many others, works out her evil schemes?

Can consecrated meat avert your punishment?

When you engage in your wickedness,

then you rejoice.”

15 What right has my beloved in my house, when she has done many vile deeds? Can even sacrificial flesh avert your doom? Can you then exult?

15 What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.

15 “What right do my beloved people have to come to my Temple,

when they have done so many immoral things?

Can their vows and sacrifices prevent their destruction?

They actually rejoice in doing evil!

15 “What is my beloved Judah doing in my Temple

when she makes many evil plans?

Do you think animal sacrifices will stop your punishment?

When you do your evil, then you are happy.”

15 What hath my beloved to do in my house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.

15 What hath my beloved to do in my house, seeing that the more part practise their evil devices, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? When thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.

when they do so many devious things? 

Can the meat from their sacrifices turn disaster away from them? 

They rejoice when they do evil.” 

15 What right does My beloved have

to be in My house,

having carried out so many evil schemes?

Can holy meat prevent your disaster

so you can rejoice?

15 “I love the people of Judah.

But they are working out their evil plans along with many others.

So what are they doing in my temple?

Can meat that is offered to me keep me from punishing you?

When you do evil things, you get a lot of pleasure from them.”

15 “What right has My beloved in My house

When she has done many vile deeds?

Can the sacrificial flesh take away from you your disaster,

So that you can rejoice?”
