Names of God Bible

“There is no faith, no love, and no knowledge of Elohim in the land.
² There is cursing, lying, murdering, stealing, and adultery.
    People break my laws, and there is one murder after another.
³ That is why the land is drying up,
    and everyone who lives in it is passing away.
        Wild animals, birds, and fish are dying.

⁴ “No one should accuse other people or bring charges against them.
    My case is against you priests.
⁵         During the day you stumble,
            and during the night the prophets stumble with you.
                So I will destroy your mother, the nation of Israel.
⁶ I will destroy my people because they are ignorant.
    You have refused to learn,
        so I will refuse to let you be my priests.
    You have forgotten the teachings of your Elohim,
        so I will forget your children.
⁷ The more priests there are,
    the more they sin against me.
        So I will turn their glory into shame.
⁸ They feed on the sins of my people,
    and they want them to do wicked things.
⁹         So the priests will be punished like the people.
            I will punish them for their wicked ways
                and pay them back for what they have done.

¹⁰ “They will eat, but they’ll never be full.
