2:8 Your priests 1 did not ask, ‘Where is the Lord?’ 2
Those responsible for teaching my law 3 did not really know me. 4
Your rulers rebelled against me.
Your prophets prophesied in the name of the god Baal. 5
They all worshiped idols that could not help them. 6
2:23 “How can you say, ‘I have not made myself unclean.
I have not paid allegiance to 7 the gods called Baal.’
Just look at the way you have behaved in the Valley of Hinnom! 8
Think about the things you have done there!
You are like a flighty, young female camel
that rushes here and there, crisscrossing its path. 9
