³⁰ ‘But the person who acts defiantly,^[a] whether native or resident foreigner, blasphemes the Lord.^(A) That person is to be cut off from his people. ³¹ He will certainly be cut off, because he has despised the Lord’s word and broken his command; his guilt remains on him.’

¹⁹ So why didn’t you obey the Lord? Why did you rush on the plunder^(A) and do what was evil in the Lord’s sight? ’
