¹⁸ You have no thought for the Rock, your father, you have no memory of the God who gave you birth.

¹⁰ For you have not given honour to the God of your salvation, and have not kept in mind the Rock of your strength; for this cause you made a garden of Adonis, and put in it the vine-cuttings of a strange god;

¹⁴ For Israel has no memory of his Maker, and has put up the houses of kings; and Judah has made great the number of his walled towns. But I will send a fire on his towns and put an end to his great houses.

³² Is it possible for a virgin to put out of her memory her ornaments, or a bride her robes? but my people have put me out of their memories for unnumbered days.

²¹ They had no memory of God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;

⁴ He is the Rock, complete is his work; for all his ways are righteousness: a God without evil who keeps faith, true and upright is he.

²¹ A voice is sounding on the open hilltops, the weeping and the prayers of the children of Israel; because their way is twisted, they have not kept the Lord their God in mind.

¹⁰ And you had the houses of Jerusalem numbered, pulling down the houses to make the wall stronger.

¹¹ And you made a place between the two walls for storing the waters of the old pool: but you gave no thought to him who had done this, and were not looking to him by whom it had been purposed long before.

²⁰ If the name of our God has gone out of our minds, or if our hands have been stretched out to a strange god,

²¹ Will not God make search for it? for he sees the secrets of the heart.

²² Truly, because of you we are put to death every day; we are numbered like sheep for destruction.

¹⁷ The sinners and all the nations who have no memory of God will be turned into the underworld.

¹⁵ But Jeshurun became fat and would not be controlled: you have become fat, you are thick and full of food: then he was untrue to the God who made him, giving no honour to the Rock of his salvation.

¹⁹ And it is certain that if at any time you are turned away from the Lord your God, and go after other gods, to be their servants and to give them worship, destruction will overtake you.

¹⁴ Take care that your hearts are not lifted up in pride, giving no thought to the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house;

¹¹ Then take care that you are not turned away from the Lord your God and from keeping his orders and decisions and laws which I give you this day:

¹² Then take care that you keep your hearts true to the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
