¹² And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.

²⁴ Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves;

²⁴ And they have not hearkened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, In the stubbornness, of their evil heart, And are for backward, and not for forward.

⁴² and God did turn, and did give them up to do service to the host of the heaven, according as it hath been written in the scroll of the prophets: Slain beasts and sacrifices did ye offer to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

²⁶ Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature;

¹⁶ who in the past generations did suffer all the nations to go on in their ways,

¹⁶ `The word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of Jehovah -- we are not hearkening unto thee;

¹⁷ for we certainly do everything that hath gone out of our mouth, to make perfume to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her libations, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our heads, in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and -- we are satisfied with bread, and we are well, and evil we have not seen.

⁹ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Pharaoh doth not hearken unto you, so as to multiply My wonders in the land of Egypt;'

⁴ If thy sons have sinned before Him, And He doth send them away, By the hand of their transgression,

³ And Jehovah saith, `My Spirit doth not strive in man -- to the age; in their erring they `are' flesh:' and his days have been an hundred and twenty years.
