Controversia de Dios con Israel

Escuchad la palabra del SEÑOR, hijos de Israel^a,porque el SEÑOR tiene querella contra los habitantes de la tierra^b,pues no hay fidelidad¹^c, ni misericordia²,ni conocimiento de Dios en la tierra^d.2 Solo hay perjurio^a, mentira^b, asesinato^c, robo^d y adulterio^e.Emplean la violencia, y homicidios tras homicidios se suceden¹^f.3 Por eso la tierra está de luto,y languidece todo morador en ellajunto con las bestias del campo y las aves del cielo;aun los peces del mar desaparecen¹^a.

4 Pero que nadie contienda ni nadie reprenda^a;porque tu pueblo es como los que contienden con el sacerdote^b.5 Tropezarás de día^a,y tropezará también el profeta contigo de noche,y destruiré a tu madre^b.6 Mi pueblo es destruido por falta de conocimiento^a.Por cuanto tú has rechazado el conocimiento^b,yo también te rechazaré para que no seas¹ mi sacerdote^c;como has olvidado la ley de tu Dios^d,yo también me olvidaré de tus hijos.

7 Cuanto más se multiplicaron, más pecaron contra mí^a;cambiaré, pues, su gloria en afrenta^b.8 Del pecado¹ de mi pueblo se alimentan^a,y hacia su iniquidad dirigen sus deseos²^b.9 Como el pueblo, así será el sacerdote^a;los castigaré por su proceder¹^b,y les pagaré² según sus obras.10 Comerán, pero no se saciarán^a;se prostituirán^b, pero no se multiplicarán,porque han dejado de hacer caso al SEÑOR^c.

11 La prostitución, el¹ vino y el mosto quitan el juicio²^a.12 Mi pueblo consulta a su ídolo de madera^a, y su vara les informa;porque un espíritu de prostitución los ha descarriado,y se han prostituido, apartándose de¹ su Dios.13 Ofrecen sacrificios sobre las cumbres de los montes^ay queman incienso¹ sobre las colinas^b,debajo de las encinas, los álamos y los terebintos^c,porque su sombra es agradable.Por tanto, vuestras hijas se prostituyen,y vuestras nueras cometen adulterio.14 No castigaré a vuestras hijas cuando se prostituyanni a vuestras nueras cuando cometan adulterio,porque los hombres mismos¹ se retiran con ramerasy ofrecen sacrificios con las rameras^a del culto pagano²;así se pierde³ el pueblo sin entendimiento.

15 Aunque tú, Israel, te prostituyas,que no se haga culpable Judá;tampoco vayáis a Gilgal^a,ni subáis a Bet-avén,ni juréis:¡Vive el SEÑOR^b!16 Puesto que Israel es terco^acomo novilla indómita,¿los pastoreará ahora el SEÑORcomo a un cordero en campo espacioso¹^b?17 Efraín se ha unido a los ídolos^a;déjalo^b.18 Acabada su bebida,se entregaron a la prostitución;sus príncipes¹ aman mucho la ignominia^a.19 El viento los envuelve en sus alas,y se avergonzarán de sus sacrificios^a.

God’s Controversy with Israel

^aListen to the word of the LORD, O sons of Israel,For the LORD has a ^bcase against the inhabitants of the land,Because there is ^cno ¹faithfulness or ²kindnessOr ^dknowledge of God in the land.2 There is ^aswearing, ^bdeception, ^cmurder, ^dstealing and ^eadultery.They employ violence, so that ^fbloodshed ¹follows bloodshed.3 Therefore the land ^amourns,And everyone who lives in it languishesAlong with the beasts of the field and the birds of the sky,And also the fish of the sea ¹disappear.

4 Yet let no one ¹^afind fault, and let none offer reproof;For your people are like those who ^bcontend with the priest.5 So you will ^astumble by day,And the prophet also will stumble with you by night;And I will destroy your ^bmother.6 ^aMy people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.Because you have ^brejected knowledge,I also will ^creject you from being My priest.Since you have ^dforgotten the ^elaw of your God,I also will forget your children.

7 The more they ^amultiplied, the more they sinned against Me;I will ^bchange their glory into shame.8 They ^afeed on the ¹sin of My peopleAnd ^bdirect their desire toward their iniquity.9 And it will be, like people, ^alike priest;So I will ^bpunish them for their waysAnd repay them for their deeds.10 ^aThey will eat, but not have enough;They will ^bplay the harlot, but not increase,Because they have ¹^cstopped giving heed to the LORD.

11 Harlotry, ^awine and new wine take away the ¹understanding.12 My people ^aconsult their wooden idol, and their diviner’s wand informs them;For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray,And they have played the harlot, departing ¹from their God.13 They offer sacrifices on the ^atops of the mountainsAnd ¹^bburn incense on the hills,^cUnder oak, poplar and terebinth,Because their shade is pleasant.Therefore your daughters play the harlotAnd your ²brides commit adultery.14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlotOr your ¹brides when they commit adultery,For the men themselves go apart with harlotsAnd offer sacrifices with ^atemple prostitutes;So the people without understanding are ²ruined.

15 Though you, Israel, play the harlot,Do not let Judah become guilty;Also do not go to ^aGilgal,Or go up to Beth-aven^bAnd take the oath:“As the LORD lives!”16 Since Israel is ^astubbornLike a stubborn heifer,¹Can the LORD now ^bpasture themLike a lamb in a large field?17 Ephraim is joined to ^aidols;^bLet him alone.18 Their liquor gone,They play the harlot continually;^aTheir ¹rulers dearly love shame.19 ^aThe wind wraps them in its wings,And they will be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

God’s Controversy with Israel

^aListen to the word of the LORD, you sons of Israel,Because the LORD has a ^bcase against the inhabitants of the land,For there is ^cno ¹faithfulness, nor ²loyalty,Nor ^dknowledge of God in the land.2 There is ^aoath-taking, ¹^bdenial, ^cmurder, ^dstealing, and ^eadultery.They employ violence, so that ^fbloodshed ²follows bloodshed.3 Therefore the land ^amourns,And everyone who lives in it languishesAlong with the animals of the field and the birds of the sky,And even the fish of the sea ¹disappear.

4 Yet let no one ¹^afind fault, and let no one rebuke;For your people are like those who ^bcontend with a priest.5 So you will ^astumble by day,And the prophet also will stumble with you by night;And I will destroy your ^bmother.6 ^aMy people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.Since you have ^brejected knowledge,I also will ^creject you from being My priest.Since you have ^dforgotten the ^eLaw of your God,I also will forget your children.

7 The more they ^amultiplied, the more they sinned against Me;I will ^bchange their glory into shame.8 They ^afeed on the ¹sin of My people,And ^blong for their wrongdoing.9 And it will be, like people, ^alike priest;So I will ^bpunish them for their waysAnd repay them for their deeds.10 ^aThey will eat, but not have enough;They will ^bplay the prostitute, but not ¹increase,Because they ^cgave up devoting themselves to the LORD.

11 ¹Infidelity, ^awine, and new wine take away the ²understanding.12 My people ^aconsult their wooden idol, and their diviner’s wand informs them;For a spirit of infidelity has led them astray,And they have been unfaithful, departing ¹from their God.13 They offer sacrifices on the ^atops of the mountainsAnd ¹^bburn incense on the hills,^cUnder oak, poplar, and terebinth,Because their shade is pleasant.Therefore your daughters play the prostitute,And your ²brides commit adultery.14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute,Or your ¹brides when they commit adultery,Because the men themselves slip away with the prostitutesAnd offer sacrifices with ^atemple prostitutes;So the people without understanding are ruined.

15 Though you, Israel, play the prostitute,Judah must not become guilty;Also you are not to go to ^aGilgal,Nor go up to Beth-aven^bAnd take the oath:“As the LORD lives!”16 Since Israel is ^astubbornLike a stubborn cow,¹Will the LORD now ^bpasture themLike a lamb in a large field?17 Ephraim is allied with ^aidols;^bLeave him alone.18 Their liquor is gone,They prostitute themselves continually;¹^aTheir ²rulers dearly love shame.19 ^aThe wind wraps them in its wings,And they will be ¹put to shame because of their sacrifices.
