¹⁷ “The Lord of Armies who planted you^(A) has decreed disaster against you, because of the disaster^[a] the house of Israel and the house of Judah brought on themselves when they angered me by burning incense to Baal.”

³ because of the evil they committed to anger me,^(A) by going and burning incense to serve other gods that they, you, and your ancestors did not know.^(B)

⁸ You are angering me by the work of your hands. You are burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to stay for a while. As a result, you will be cut off and become an example for cursing and insult among all the nations of earth.^(A)
