30 Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me ^jforever,’ but now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me, for those who honor me ^kI will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

9 and so I make you despised and abased before all the people, inasmuch as you do not keep my ways but ^zshow partiality in your instruction.”
