3. Israel was holiness unto the Lord, the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall be held guilty; evil shall come upon them, saith the Lord.
4. Hear ye the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:
5. thus saith the Lord, What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
